I swore I’d never do it again!
OK, Last year, to the day I was in San Diego with my two darling children. At the time they were 3 months old and 21 1/2 months old. This was our second trip in one month. The first was when eClaire was just about 2 months old, the second when she was 3 months old.
We flew.
Alone.
No Hubby, just one stressed out mommy and two kids under two.
I swore I’d never do it again.
Until Yesterday.
I subscribe to Ding, Southwest’s super cheep fairs. Each day a ‘ding’ comes up on my computer with the latest deals. Yesterday Ding flashed up and said that there were $25 one way tickets from my city to San Diego. Um, ya. I had to jump on that deal! My sister in law from San Diego is having her second baby sometime in May, plus the kids miss Nonnie and Grandpa! We had to go.
So after purchasing 2 tickets, one for eClaire and me and one for BC, and paying a mere $142, we’re booked for a flight to San Diego late in May. I’m so excited!!
So if you are flying in California, late May on a Southwest flight, you might want to bring your ear plugs!! I can’t guarantee my kids will have had a nap prior to getting on the plane!
On another note:
OK, seriously. What can I do with this? Will I have to start sewing eClaire into her clothes at night?? (An idea, btw, given to me by a genius mom friend!)

Sounds like you got one heck of a deal on those tickets! I hope your trip goes well when it comes about.
I know a girl that either uses a diaper pin hooked into the little hole on the zipper and attaches it to the fabric so it can’t be pulled down.. or she duct tapes them into it, hahaha.
Beautiful child!

That’s adorable!
And we’ve not flown since Peanut is born. I’d be scared to death to fly with both kids. I applaud you!

Q has started undoing his jammies yet, but this fellow had a suggestion: Put on the sleepers inside-out.
