the longest day ever..

so my flight shouldve landed in rhode island at 7:20pm last night. i got to the airposrt at 1:30pm. My flight was delayed. we left the ground a little after 7pm. for those who cant do the math that would be 5 1/2 hours in an airport with a 1 year old. and then a 3 1/2 hour flight. he did surprisingly well waiting. I rented out a couple of kids to entertain him. the little girl was 7, the little boy was 3. (i didnt really rent them out, but they were waiting too and they played with the baby for like 2 hours.) worked out well. on the plane he fell asleep before we even left the ground. YIPEE!!!! i couldnt believe my luck, a sleeping baby after an exhausting day. my child is the best.

fast forward and hour into the flight. the person in front of me pops open a soda can. the baby just about jumps out of my arms. and my luck just ran out. we fussed an dcried and whined for 45minutes (but not screaming like another child) and then played for the last 45 minutes. not so bad. he was happy and smiley at 10:15 while we were getting off the plane.....all smiles while getting the rental car and when we go tto my dads....and then when i put him to bed i think he realized how unbelievably tired he was and screamed until midnight.....then finally fell asleep. then up at 1:42am crying again but only for about 5 minutes......and up to start the day at 6:50am. lets just say that I am exhausted.
