  1. M&M's is my favorite airport food. Don't want to eat too much and have it on the tummy if the pilot pretends he's on a roller coaster to entertain us in bumpy air! Speaking of bumpy air, remember that the wings will NOT come off! A pilot told me that when I told him I thought one might be loose after a bumpy ride. Sounds like you have enough to entertain the Bebe and the person next to you.

  2. I wouldn't entertain her...I would give her benadryl! :)

  3. FRIENDSHIP PRESSURE!
    We used to use Benadryll when my oldest was littler on doctor recommendations, but then he told me that some kids react to it differently and if you don't know for certain it makes your kid drowsy-don't give it-because it can wind some kids up. Ix-nay on the Benadryll for us!
    Our trick is to get *at least* one new toy for the "oo=look at that" effect (tip: all meal toys from the drive through go in my glovebox to save for road trips). Also one good killer treat that would stop the biggest tantrum in the world...
    WWWAHHHH!!!
    -cookie?
    yeah, that'd be great.
    ^works like a charm.
    Portable DVD players are a nice idea, but my kids have a headphone/earbud phobia that is bizarre so a movie attempt is more of a frustration on a plane.
    My kids LOVE being able to play with my camera, if we are scraping for ideas I always start trying to make things interesting/teaching moment, but when I bore them I'm like: AND do YOU wanna take a picture of it?! sitting by the wing was very exciting to them-taking pictures of clouds from on top-incredibly thrilling.
    ALSO! Ask the flight attendants for a lid and straw on your cup-they will do it!

  4. THE BETTER QUESTION IS: how do you enterain a 32 year old who is deathly afraid of flying, on a plane? :)

  5. How old is Willow? I used Benadryl. It may sound mean, but I have traveled with TWO, yes TWO toddlers. Before I knew about this "secret", we dealt with TWO crazy toddlers on the plane. Not fun. Hubby asked how the other parents got their kids to be so quiet. He answered, "Benadryl." But yeah, new toys, new movies and plenty of snacks work best.

  7. don't stress. just take it 10 minutes at a time. don't pull out any "tricks" until absolutely necessary.
