Again, we did a lot of books and then a few current favorite items. Most of the other stuff lying about will be novel enough that you shouldn't need too much!

I read something yesterday that suggested to wrap everything up like presents so that it takes more time up, and makes it all more exciting!

Also those colouring books/pads which use an aquadraw type pen are great and not very messy.

We took a bunch of stuff and he wanted none of it.  He screamed for the entire first hour.  The only thing that kept him mildly entertained was the back of seat TV but he couldn't reach it which frustrated him and he didn't really like the headphones on his head.  Ours was an 8 hr flight though. 


The wrapping is a great tip and I think we'll be trying that next time.  Either that or sedation lol
The tweaking never stops!

do your friends have friends with kids? we're firm believers in borrowing things. travelling to germany there's only so much we can bring, especially when i'm by myself with both kids. we bring small favorites, and supplement once we get there. also leave room for things to bring back, we always seem to get stuck in the german toystores and bring back lots (that also gets played with over there). :-) happy travelling!

We made it! And on the way home we were only delayed 6 hours :) Thank god for my husbands blackberry and you tube.  We ended up letting her watch Elmo on the phone while we waited b.c literally on the way home we were supposed to land @5pm and we didn't get in till 11pm.

Yay for making it!!  Elmo on YouTube (unfortunately) holds a special place in my heart for moments like that. ::)
