2009_07_14 Tuesday

I got to have an extra day of nanny-ing for Shawn today. Pretty uneventful really. Jonathan helped me feed Shawn his bottle today; he was so gentle and sweet. We went to the park for a bit, but it was pretty hot and sunny, so I thought we better not risk a sunburn. We met their new nanny in the afternoon. She's very nice. And, we did a Costco run for them; I really wonder if we would benefit from a membership there. Lots of 'all natural' and organic stuff now.

After yesterday's false alarm, we finally did leave Chicago. Flying stresses me out if it goes smoothly, so I was anticipating more headaches and stress. We managed to get through check-in and security with the help of Jonathan's cheeks. This time, we had much more leg room, and we had the window seat. Both worked very well for us. Jonathan could even stand up without bothering anyone. The flight was packed, and we got bumped out of line for take-off for some reason. After waiting on the runway for about 15 minutes, though, we were cleared and took off. From there, the flight was completely smooth, and Jonathan did fantastic...especially considering we sat next to two 20-something men. lucky them. While he didn't sleep a wink, Jonathan did keep pretty quiet and busy with coloring, a froggie project for daddy, and making some glow-in-the-dark bracelets. Dave was at the airport to pick us up.
