Last weekend Elijah and I went to North Carolina to spend some time with my mom for her birthday.
It was Elijah's first plane ride.
He did really well on the way there.
As we were landing, I sat him in my lap so we could look out the window.
We're sitting there watching when his binky falls into my hand.
I look down at him and he's sleeping!
Same thing happened on the way home.
No sleeping during the flight.. only landing.
This made it really fun for me.
Gathering all of our crap, stuffing it into the bags, getting the bag down from overhead storage, waiting for the stroller, popping it up, loading all the luggage and toys and food and etc, walking through the airport with a sleeping child on my chest pushing an overloaded stroller with one hand.
Memories.
:)
I must say, people are pretty nice to a woman traveling alone with a toddler.
Big thanks to all my fellow travelers and airline workers who helped me out.
From the second we got there it was a weekend full of fun.
My mother has the absolute sweetest neighbors who treated Elijah and I like family.
They were very excited to have him play on their piano.
E was a little excited himself :)
We went to the Charlotte Speedway.
This is the BIG thing in town...
Well, kinda the only big thing in town.
Elijah loved the cars (on display, we didn't see any races).
We also went to the Ashboro zoo.
So much fun!
Mom taught Elijah how to water flowers.
And we walked and walked and walked the neighborhood picking flowers.
We had such a sweet visit and miss Grandma already :)
Happy Birthday Mom
We had some much fun- Good Times! Love and Miss you all! Thank you for wonderful Birthday
