Same flight different experience




We were on the way to Australia and E was all excited. The last trip was made when he was barely 10 months old. He was curious about everything and anything on board the aircraft, ranging from the remote control to the lavatory and the passengers around him. He was fascinated by all the little gadgets in the lavatory - the orange emergency button and the water tap and the air flush etc, so much so that he claimed 25 toilet trips within a span of 7.5 hours, out of which 10 were "droplet" efforts :(


The remote control kept him occupied for a good 15 minutes before he started getting restless. He climbed up the seat and looked back at the passengers and he pointed out,

E " Mummy, that man is having a fever. He is using a fever pad " ( haha, the man was resting his eye mask on his forehead...it certainly looked like a fever pad)

Throughout the flight, Nicole was putting up her best behaviour. She enjoyed every bit of the meals and the in flight entertainment. She was so used to SQ flights that she got an "unpleasant" experience on board QF flights when we moved about in Australia. When her meal was served on QF, she exclaimed ,

N " Mummy, is this what you called a meal? It is just a sandwich and it is cold!"

(haha, well, welcome home sweetheart! You have been away for too long. Sandwich is the way to go here....)

Thanks for letting me know! =) also, I must let you know that I keep hopping over to your blog as I love Nicole's art. I'm sure you know this, but for a child her age, I see good control on her art. Thanks very much for sharing!
