Monday, 3/21

Well, most of this day was spent waiting around for it to be time to go! We were kind of glad that our plane didn't leave until 10:30 pm because we thought that it would be easy for Bethany to sleep. NOT. We did her whole bedtime routine and then walked out the door (around 8 pm). That just REALLY confused her. She didn't sleep in the car on the way to the airport. She didn't sleep while waiting to board the plane. She didn't sleep once we were on the plane. It didn't help at that point that Nathan and I were sitting across the aisle from one another. A couple of hours into the flight to Houston Nathan just got up and took her into the galley, threw a blanket over her and bounced her to sleep. That worked. We just had to do that when she woke up every 1-1 1/2 hours. Nathan and I took turns holding her while she slept.

On the flight to Orlando, Nathan and I sat together. Bethany fell asleep during take off and woke up a little bit when Nathan tried to shift. She sat up in his lap and promptly fell face forward into my lap and slept like that all the way to Orlando! Her face in my lap, her legs in Nathan's. She was so cute!
