so, michael tells me that when he takes these long flights he makes a list of ten things to do, one for every hour. brilliant, i said. now all we need are ten things to do with owen. so far i have:
1. read choo choo book (and brown bear and knuffle bunny and abc book again and again)
2. watch blues clues 5 times
3. open and close open and close open and close the seat tray in front of us
4. walk up and down the aisles saying hello to wary passengers until we find a sweet dutch old lady who will tell him stories or another toddler and they can poke each other in the arm
5. throw raisins at people walking by in the aisles (we learned this one from our buddy w.)

ummmm.

HeLP?!

we'll let you know how the "practice" 2 hour flight to seattle this week works out. we are also going to "test" the dr. approved benadryl aid. but i'd almost put money on owen geting wired rather than tired . . .
