I'm so glad you made it okay, and hope you know that if you'd had to do an overnight in NYC that we would have happily come and taken care of you. :)Chouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11711969146276630261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-21478273521966364582010-05-18T19:32:51.706-04:002010-05-18T19:32:51.706-04:00Oh I would give anything to get to go on a trip li...Oh I would give anything to get to go on a trip like that... with or without kids. It has been a decade or more since I traveled abroad and I don't know that I'll ever get to go again.

You don't think she was good, but she was SO GOOD! And it was because you were trying so hard! We could all tell how hard you were trying." <br /><br />I mean, nobody likes a shrieking baby, right? I don't. But people are so much more sympathetic and grateful when they see how hard you're trying to keep your kids and fellow passengers happy. <br /><br />Well done! Enjoy your time in France!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06507356073061905854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-47194737636631655802010-05-17T04:09:34.643-04:002010-05-17T04:09:34.643-04:00I have done this three times with a toddler and ba...I have done this three times with a toddler and baby by myself. I always feel like we're some kind of clown show, all piling into the bathroom together, me trying to pee, balancing a baby on one knee, shrieking at my 2 year old not to touch anything and NOT TO OPEN THE DOOR OH MY GOD!... lol. <br /><br />Portable DVD player. It's the only time<br /> my toddler watches movies, and it keeps him glued. HIghly recomend it if you have to do it again. As for my daugther, lots and lots of nursing. Both kids love stickers, drawing, and food. <br /><br />Glad you survived!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501575551066939483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20642800.post-85978841434200193642010-05-16T22:58:47.299-04:002010-05-16T22:58:47.299-04:00I always remind myself whenever I am in a public s...I always remind myself whenever I am in a public situation like that, of the fact that 99% of the "public" that I think I'm bothering I will never see again. Makes everything more bearable.
