First in Flight

By
Jack took his first flight Monday evening. He and I flew from Newark to Greensboro. All in all, he did ok. There was a bit of fussiness after boarding and during taxi. This escalated just after takeoff - yes, I was that parent with the screaming baby - a new role that I'd rather not repeat. Fortunately, he chilled out and fell asleep for the rest of the flight.

For those of you that are frequent fliers, the pilot allowed me to keep my iPhone during taxi, takeoff, and landing so that I could use this ambient noise app that helps keep Jack calm. (thank you Christian for introducing us to that app!)

Hoping that the return is even better!

School Projects

By
Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
