Plane ride down was uneventful, other than a 1 hr 15 minute delay that was easily passed with Grace watching the Flintstones and Word Girl on my old iphone. She did ask if it was “her ipod” now and I said no. I then heard about how Chloe has her own ipod and her own phone. Excellent.

Other than finding the no-electronic-devices-during-takeoff-and-landing rule onerous (no videos! no leapster!) Grace enjoyed the flight. She could not stop talking, though, about how it’s tomorrow’s flight that she is really excited about – that’s the flight that will earn her her official Big Girl stripes, I think. She even (queen manipulator, this one) asked me if she did well on the flight (what’s the definition of well on the flight?) she could watch Hannah Montana because then she would be a big girl for sure.
