We are headed out on our first major trip with Mr. LJ. After Christmas, we went to Palm Desert for a week with my family, but we could drive and bring all the fabulous baby gear that we wanted.
This time, we are hopping on a plane and setting of to Montana for my cousin’s wedding. I am soooo excited to see all my family and celebrate with my cousin, but I’m not so excited about the plane trip. LJ has recently developed a new ability to scream at the top of his lungs like someone is stabbing Elmo….for no reason.
So I was thinking, maybe if I can get him excited about the plane and all the cool stuff he is going to see and do, it will be better.
Enter the $5 Walmart backpack…
All his favorite books, toys, snacks and whatever other bribery (yes, we are resorting to bribery) I can think of will come along in an adorable, rather enormous, blue camo backpack. He looks rather adorable with it and very “big boy”.
I’m just hoping this big boy makes it through 2 hours in LAX and 3 hours on a plane…..
We are probably on our way right now, so think good thoughts for me!

Now that is cute!! I always bribe my children over things like that! lol I never thought I'd be the kind of mom that packed Nintendo DS's and candy and such to keep my kids happy and quiet for extended periods of time.. but oh yes.. I do! It's nice when they get older… video games are always a big help
So cute! I will pray the trip goes well for you.

We just had our first airplane adventure last month. My son was just really getting the hang of walking at the time, so naturally it was a struggle to get him to sit still for two hours. Of all the books, toys, DVD player, and other crap I brought (and bought specifically for the trip) wouldn't you knowit was the graham crackers that kept him happy and contained. For awhile anyway.
I hope you have safe travels and that you enjoy being with your family!
