We flew home today. It wasn't quite as eventful as last week's flight; however, it would have been a good idea for me to check the battery status on the dvd player and computer before promising the kids we could watch a movie. (And apparently, it also would have been a good idea to use the correct outlet when charging these devices last night--it seems I used the outlet that turns on and off with the light switch). Thank goodness I had been given a couple of Grandma's famous grab bags to keep the boys occupied. Snap bracelets and silly bands were the favorite items (and incidentally, also great activities to encourage Robbie to use both hands).
Robbie was so cute as we were deboarded the plane. He asked to walk, and it was so cute to see him make his way up the aisle. I would have loved to snap a photo or video, but wouldn't you know it, my hands were kinda full at that point.
Robbie asks to walk more often than any of my other kids did at his age. Whenever we are pulling the van into a parking space, Robbie starts saying, "I wanna walk, I wanna walk." It's as if he recognizes what an accomplishment it is. I'm pretty happy about it as well, so I've been able to train myself to ditch the stroller/cart (when I can), and have Robbie walk beside me, even if it means we move at a slow pace and get sidetracked along the way.
[We're working on stairs now, and unfortunately that is a different story. Robbie used to be pretty gung-ho to try them--with lots of hand-holding and help, but now as soon as he gets near stairs he asks "carry me" or "hold me." ]
