More Fun for Dylan

Phase 3: To Boldly Go and Explore all 4 Year old Activities

Dylan had a grand time checking out the local park with Grandma Jackie. The car was particularly exciting!

Phase 2: Airplane! or Good as Gold

So, for the first leg of our flight, the airline decided to seat us all separately! Luckily, Dylan was seated across the aisle from me. Mike sat a few rows back, but we switched off at the end. I was panicking inside when I realized our situation, but Dylan was seated next to another boy, named Jack, who was just about the same age! Jack and his mom told Dylan how exciting flying would be, so Dylan figured out his seat buckle and strapped himself in. As the plane was taking off, I reached over to hold his hand from across the aisle. But, Dylan was a pro, and wasn't very scared at all!

He and jack had a grand time playing games together, and it all went well despite the stewardesses asking Jack's mom if Dylan wanted a soda. She pointed over to me and I waved "yeah, I'm his mom!" The stewardesses seemed confused about our seating arrangement as well.

But, as Grandpa would say, Dylan was "good as gold."

On the second leg of our flight from Denver to Detroit, Mike asked some nice girls if they wouldn't mind switching and happily, we were all able to sit together.

Trip to Detroit: Phase1

So,I've been remiss in posting events of our trip to the 313. So, here are some updates. Dylan was great for the most of the trip to Portland. However, just before reaching the city, he was begging to "please go home!" Luckily, Steve was nice enough to give us a ride to the airport, and so, bolstered by a grilled cheese sandwich at Bunk and some excitement from riding in Steve's fancy car, Dylan was ready for the next phase: Airplane.
