Tommy's Second Flight

So after the first horrendous flight, we learned a few lessons which we put to good use for the second flight. 

 Our flight was in the morning so we had to get up super early (early for Tommy after sleeping in all week) to make it to the airport in time.  Tommy is enjoying his early morning car ride.

The first lesson we learned about the airport is to not use the stroller for its intended use.  Instead we piled it with all our carry ons and carried Tommy.  It worked WAAAYY better to do it that way.  Then we didn't have to struggle with carrying tons of bags while maneuvering our rolling suitcases and keeping Tommy happy in his stroller.  WAY EASIER for some reason.

 The Orlando airport has a train.  Tommy was SUPER excited about it!  I think Andrew was a bit MORE excited though.

Second lesson we learned.  Have a sucker for Tommy to eat while descending.  We found some suckers at the airport outside of security.  They were at a Disney store and expensive so we decided to wait until we got through security.  Once we got through security, they didn't have any suckers in any store.  ARGH.  So I had to go back out, buy the suckers for freaking $10, and then go back through security.  But after our first flight, I was willing to pay any amount of money to keep him happy on the flight. 

Boy, was he happy! He was also a complete MESS.  Look at his shirt.  That's ALL slobber.  Disgusting! But who cares? We also learned not to let him sleep on this flight so that he wouldn't wake up so upset.  It WORKED! He was super happy with his Mickey suckers.

He was also super happy to watch Mickey on the iPad.  Look at him living the life!

 We had a VERY Successful flight this time.  He was a super good boy.  There was hardly ANY crying at all and he was able to sit through the entire flight without too much squirming.

Here is Tommy after being in our car for literally 5 minutes.  He was out.  Being a good boy is exhausting!  Or maybe it was the week long Disney vacation that was exhausting.  Either way, kiddo was pooped.

Way to go on your first successful flight, Tommy T! You did it!
