LL & Stevie have the same post up about flying with children. It never ceases to amaze me when parents don't prepare to keep their kids entertained on flights. Hell, most of them don't bother to do it in resturants!
Pudd'n was 3 mths the first time he flew. He's a good traveler and has flown to Michigan 8 out of 10 years.
I only had a problem with him once.
It was the year autism took over. I had no clue as to why my kid was acting the way he was. My father and his wife of course treated me like I did not know how to raise a kid. Pudd'n cried the entire 2 weeks we were home.
So we get on the plane to get back to the land of fruits & nuts. It's 10am and I'm already asking for whiskey. The steward looked at how frazzled I was and gave me one on the house too.
As the plane is landing at LAX, Pudd'n decides he does not want to be buckled in.
Tantrum ensues and I know what is coming next.
He's gonna puke.
I'm trying to ring for help and catch puke with my hands at the same time.
This is not fun.
Puke smell in an airplane is not pretty.
It took all my will power not to just cry. I was so embarassed and I just had two weeks of pure hell.
That fall, Pudd'n was diagnosed with Autism.
