Flying With A 5 Year Old

Keelen and I are getting ready to fly to visit his other Grandparents. It was a choice between a 10 hour road trip or a 1 hour flight. Hmmmmm……tough decision!!!

He’s flown before, but it’s the first flight he will really remember it. Although it’s only about an hour, that will be plenty long enough if things aren’t going well. I hope his ears equalize. That can be so amazingly painful. That happened to me flying back from Beijing. Oh My God!!! It was like someone was stabbing me in the ear with an ice pick. I actually cried!!!

I am finishing last minute packing trying to make sure I have everything he will need and still get it through security and keep it as carry-on. He packed everything he wanted to take last night. That included a stuffed dog so big that I would’ve had to buy it it’s own seat. He was very insistent about taking it, but I finally convinced him it would be best if the dog stayed home and took care of the house while we were gone.

I have probably flown over 100,000 miles in the last three years. But never with a 5 year old. I have seen so many unhappy children and parents at airports and on planes. This should be interesting.

Wish me luck.
