First Plane Ride

I know everyone has been on an airplane with a screaming baby or child. I know, as just a meer passenger, I cringe anytime I see a baby or small child anywhere near my seat. I remember on a flight to Seattle I was stuck in the next to last row on the plane. Behind me was a woman with like 3 small kids. She thought it would be a good idea to give them gum when the plane took off. Ok, that sounds like a reasonable thing to do since they might not know how to pop their own ears. What didn't sound like a reasonable thing to do was to force these 3 small children to spit their gum out after we were in the air. The whole 3 hour flightthe small kids screamed and cried for their gum. I'm not even exaggerating... they were practically having convulsions. I mean really? I know that gum is not good for kids but is it really worth the convulsing fit?? Anyway, I said all of that to say that Lennox had his first airplane ride on Christmas day. I was really kind of nervous because of the previously mentioned reasons. Much to my relief, he was a perfect baby on the flight. The plane was pretty much empty so that, in itself, relieved some of my anxiety but when we took off and he just looked up and smiled... I knew we were all good. He went to sleep about 5 minutes in and didn't wake up until we landed. Perfect!

He looks a bit terrified in this photo but I think he was just spitting... again.
