Today was our big travel day and we are all very tired. We left Lawrence at 4am and didn't get to our condo in Hawaii until 9:30pm Kansas time. It was a very long day. Joshua did about as well as you could expect a 9-month-old to do, but he did not sleep on the plane well, and by our last (and longest at 5 hours) flight, he was cranky. People were really nice about, which was sweet because we feel so guilty when he is screaming and there is just not much we can do about it. We will try to bring some baby Benadryl on the way back and see if we can use it if he gets so tired again. We did have some luck getting him to sleep in the airports for layovers, which is what you see above. When we were in Vegas last month, I saw people cover their strollers with blankets so the kid wouldn't be distracted. That's what we had to do, and he at least got a couple hours sleep that way while on our layovers. It made me glad I noticed that in Vegas and decided to try it because otherwise I don't think he would have slept at all.
Ahhhhhhh!
