Travel with a 16 month old - what fun!

Well, we made it! Left our house (north of Barrie) at 7:20 am. Didn't arrive to our new destination until 7:00 pm. Wow!

I have to give cuddos to West Jet. The attendants were spectacular. The flight was packed and they were busy but they found time to get Patrick a little airplane book and to check in on us. Helped that I had an off-duty attendant sitting next to me too!

He did brilliantly. No tantrums or upsets. I have a little harness for him that has a little backpack - cute and functional. Let him run around the airport and get his ya-ya's out before we boarded.

Used Kali-mur (homeopathic) to help with the ear popping thing - didn't bother either of us. Packed lots of food and milk too and with a big eater like Patrick, that was the ticket.

We had gone to the Source and bought Patrick a pair of headphones meant for kids. They are great. No matter how high they turn up the volume, they can't blow out their eardrums - too bad he doesnt' like TV much. I'm sure he'll use them when he's older.

It has taken me almost to the end of our trip to finally get this post written! We'll be headed back on Thursday and I'm praying for a repeat performance.

See you all soon!
