It's Sarah K.K., back to take on the ga-ga-goo-goo set for Toddler Thursday:
A few months ago, I posted asking for advice about flying cross-country with a newly mobile toddler and got lots of helpful hints.
Well, I'm back and asking for more.
Next week, I'm flying with my now-2-year-old -- by ourselves. Thankfully, it's a shorter -- and nonstop -- flight, and I've got some strategies already. But you were all so helpful last time, I figured I'd ask for some updates.
My flight plan goes like this:
-- A carseat and cot have already been ordered, shipped and delivered to my parents' house, so we don't have to bring any of that bulky stuff with us. I considered an umbrella stroller, too, but I decided to keep the kiddo contained and bring our smallish stroller with us to gate-check.
-- The MagnaDoodle worked magic on keeping Isaac entertained, and it is still one of his favorite things to play with when we go out to dinner or are stuck in the waiting room at the doctor's office.
-- I'm going to download a couple of (silent) toddler-friendly apps for my iPhone because he loooooves that thing. We have a portable DVD player, but I'm also going to be carrying on some camera equipment, so I'm trying to keep everything else unbulky, so the iPhone it is.
-- Add couple of new books, couple of snacks, favorite blankies, changes of clothes for both of us to the usual diaper-bag load, I think we'll be good.
But what am I forgetting?
