It started with their flight in. They took their daily nap on the plane. Which was a decent nap but certainly not it's usual length or comfortable quality. Incidentally, Liam and Dash were really quite good on that flight. Did you know that we usually can't sit by each other on airplanes? There's only four emergency masks per row, so only one lap child is allowed (unless there's an empty seat). It's fun when someone who's been sitting by you realizes at the end of the flight that there's another one of them a few rows up. Not one but two cute toddlers!
Oh, I should mention, we weren't even supposed to be on that flight. We were supposed to be on one six hours earlier. We woke up 20 minutes after that one departed. Uh... whoops. We still haven't figured out what happened to that alarm. But luckily Frontier swiftly put us on the next flight (and luckily there were seats!). Props to them!
Anyway, back to the point- then the boys had lots of good food (twas Thanksgiving after all). And that night they slept 13 hours. THIRTEEN! I woke up at 7:30 and just stared at that monitor for half an hour, dumbfounded that it wasn't going off yet. Every night was good, every nap was good. It probably helped that Liam and Dash had so many people to play with them. So awesome.
This actually threw a wrench into our return flight. When we picked a time to fly home, 3pm, I thought, oh yeah, they'll be waking up even earlier on because of the time zone change so they'll have already taken a nap by the time we need to leave for the airport. Not so. They had to take their nap in the car, about half the length of a normal nap. This manifested itself on the plane. They weren't too bad, just very antsy and vocal. Then the decent really made their ears hurt. They're so rarely so complainy. I'm just glad that flight's done.
Stay tuned for some family fun!
Missing the little men. Rufus too. No breakfast buddies to clean up after. Loved having you guys out for Thanksgiving. Glad you made it home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a good trip!! Based on how much I was stressed about our trip to San Diego, I can only imagine the doubling of the stress with two. I really wish landings weren't so tough for kids. People seem to normally like kids until they see you on their plane :(
ReplyDeleteSure Katie rub it in :) I'm just jealous because Luke didn't sleep through the night once over Thanksgiving break and we were in our own home! So glad for you though that your kiddos did well. It makes traveling so much easier!
