Last weekend Emily and I made a trip to El Paso to meet Emily's newest cousin, Layla. This was my first flight alone with Emily and I was nervous about being able to keep her calm on a full plan with a bunch of other people. After our first flight, I had already decided to pack light. I reminded myself that I wouldn't need that book or magazine because it wasn't like she was going to let me read it anyway. I just took her, my sling, and a few toys to keep her occupied with... and I was very glad I did. Everything went off without a hitch, and we had a great time.
This was my first visit to Kathleen and Johnny's house... and also one of the first times I had gotten to spend much time with Johnny. It seems that every other trip in the past was always rushed and I never got to know him very well... and I am glad I finally got a chance to. While I was there, I taught Kathleen and Johnny how to use a sling, and we watched the Happiest Baby on the Block video. We tried out what we learned, and I think we all found it quite helpful... it really worked... we were all amazed. I highly recommend it.
Our trip was short, but Emily and I were glad to finally get to see Layla. Here are a few of our pictures from our trip...
