C is growing so fast and is so cute.<br /><br />When I put my old dresses (same era as yours) on either of my girls, they are pretty short, too (like not cover the diaper short). Either we were oddly short, or it was just the fashion then.esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508921986071164221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534402612019429217.post-32382913982339507702010-05-10T09:12:49.142-07:002010-05-10T09:12:49.142-07:00So every wonderful!!So every wonderful!!jsdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806281216001406716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534402612019429217.post-74516519322780603192010-05-06T20:26:06.399-07:002010-05-06T20:26:06.399-07:00So sweet and Big!

I don't like to give my kids a lot of sugar, but I have also found that the novelty of a lollipop on the airplane made them focus on it more and upped the time-killer aspect of it, which is a good thing. Second, take lots of things for her to do - and again, think of things that will kill time. Playdough in a small container (you can go to CVS/Walgreens/other drug stores that develop film and ask for empty film canisters and use them for small containers for the trip). Maybe 2 or 3 wooden beads and a shoelace for stringing? Other small, easily contained activities that will occupy her are good. As many of them as possible I would make new to her or take them out of her regular toy rotation for a few days to a week before the trip so they are new again when you pull them out on the plane. Also, this might be too old for her, but Kumon makes a series of preschool workbooks that my girls enjoyed as toddlers - coloring, cutting and pasting, stickers sort of thing. You can find them at most Barnes and Nobles to look at - again, I generally prefer to give kids blank paper and a basket of crayons, but for a plane trip, these activity books have been an inexpensive and easily portable. Just remember that if you choose one of the cut and paste ones, a glue stick is a gel and must be in either your or her 1 qt. bag. (you each get your own of those, even if you are sharing a carry-on). Final tip - move as much as possible on the ground. Even if it's off her normal schedule, the easiest way to pass time with a toddler on a plane is to have them tired and take a nap. So, in the airport, walk (and climb and such for C.) as much as possible to make the sitting in the air easier.Desert Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998473849809164557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534402612019429217.post-75612025955441160042010-05-06T07:02:59.997-07:002010-05-06T07:02:59.997-07:00I so look forward to your posts!

I'm glad you found more signing dvds--I think they taught Baby Girl lots of words!<br /><br />(oh--and if you go in to edit a post, you can manually change the date and time to what you want it to be.

It still seems to me that at certain angles I can see Josh in C. Love seeing her in the transition stage from baby to toddler. You're a beautiful family! Glad you didn't give up on blogging so we can all watch C grow up. xo's GASSherry Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273783003802945828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8534402612019429217.post-13780448426625569652010-05-06T05:38:39.563-07:002010-05-06T05:38:39.563-07:00that would be great, laurie. fun stuff for kiddos...that would be great, laurie. fun stuff for kiddos in nashville... once we recover from the flooding! we should figure out a half way pt and do a meet up from time to time.

Madeline loved flying at that age - so much to see in the airport and all - I just remember learning the hard way to make sure she wasn't wearing any metal for going through security - we had one bad experience with that - but other than that, it was fine.
