...Clara and I flew to Cleveland this weekend for a wedding.
The pilot was pretty agreeable when I threw her on his lap and said, "Smile!" I'm surprised I didn't have TSA chasing after me.
Ken and Charlie drove to Cleveland. Clara still doesn't love the car and I'm all about the, "Divide and conquer" method of parenting. I am also all about, "Infants fly free."
(I love the sunlight shining through her ears. ha!)
The flight there was easy because she had her own seat next to me. She ate 487 Mum Mums, her weight in goldfish, and a cup from the stewardess. Yeah, plastic!
The trip back was not as easy but overall she was a trooper. We both only cried for a total of about five minutes.
I walked away from the whole experience with generally one thought. If you ever see someone with an infant alone in an airport, offer to help them. 9 times out of 10, they will say, "No, thankyousoverymuch." 1 time out of 10 they will say, "Yes, can you help me figure out how to get my 5x4 stroller in the 4x4 x-ray machine?" 10 times out of 10 they will think to themselves, "There really are still good people in the world."


After the legendary flight with Gracie in 2006 where it's a wonder the Dillow family didn't get banned from air flight for eternity, Matt ALWAYS offers to help a mama flying solo with her kid(s) if it looks like she is even remotely close to needing help. (He flies more than I do so has more opportunity to offer)

I still remember the soldier who offered to watch all of my stuff so I could go to the bathroom and change Lillian when we were flying to CA on our own-I think it was the car seat strapped to my back that said "OH please someone help me." Six years later and I'm still sad I didn't ask him his name...

I hear you! My youngest daughter and grandson fly frequently; he is 1 year old now...she is due to give birth to a baby girl any minute LOL. Help from strangers at an airport is a wonderful act of kindness that really does reaffirm your faith in humanity.
Love Clara's sleeper by the way, love Carter's! (yes, I bought this for my granddaughter too!)

I flew with a 6 month old and a 2 year old and had to fold up a double stroller while holding the 6 month old in one arm and the 2 year old holding my pocket on my pants... Thank the Lord somebody finally asked if they could help b/c I was pretty darn close to tears. I'm constantly looking for women who need help... it ain't easy!
