I spent the day cleaning and getting everything ready for our trip. It was a productive day, but I’m bummed I wasn’t able to get enough other things done today. I had a few studio things I wanted to catch up on before August, but I guess that will just have to wait until we get back. 🙂
We did have a stressful evening when I discovered I couldn’t find Josiah’s Birth Certificate–we need it in order to bring him on the plane. So, after digging EVERYWHERE… and freaking out a bit… (okay A LOT!) and eating too many M&M’s in my distress… I’m happy to say I found it. Ah!
I put together a few “bags of distractions” for Josiah on the plane ride today. The plan is to pull one out at a time and let him play with the items until he starts to get bored and then move to the next one. We’ll also have food, don’t worry. I’m hoping the combination between the food, bags of distractions, strangers all around and an overdue naptime will lead to a pleasant tolerable flight.
Bags-O-Distractions!
From Left to Right:
1) stickers and unsharpened pencils
2) rubber band weird balls
3) elastic key rings and light up bouncy balls
4) glitter puff balls
5) play doh (I’m not sure if they’re going to take these away, but it was worth a shot)
Looks like fun! I can’t wait to see photos!
Wow, you are really ready!
Wow! I know you probably won’t see my post until you are back, but you are one very prepared Mommy! I love how you are so creative with finding things like this to keep Josiah busy. I hope that it went well. :o)
