On Wednesday, June 3, Emily and I flew from Albuquerque to Portland, Or to take Emily back to her Mama and Daddy. She was such a trooper on the flight and seemed to understand that she was up, up, up in the sky. She buckled her seatbelt with no problem and just sat quietly in her seat for most of the trip. She even made sure Baby Girlfriend was buckled in. It didn't take her long to look up and notice all those buttons that looked like they would be fun to push. Fortunately, she couldn't reach them. 
About 1/2 way there (a 2-hour nonstop flight), she discovered that everyone was getting drinks and snacks, so she had some apple juice and wheat thins. She never slept, but she did rest quietly with her blanket and was actually the quietest of the many children on board.
I did something on this flight that I had never done before on all the flights I made with my own children--changed a diaper in an airplane mini-lavatory!! That was quite the experience, let me tell you. There is a changing table that folds out of the wall and forces the "changer" to stand with her back against the door while the "changee" stretches head to foot across the width of the restroom. At this point Emily was so wet that she didn't mind getting changed in such a tiny place even though we went through a little bit of minor turbulence at the time. Of course, she got to talk to everyone in the plane both going to and coming from the restroom, so all was well for her. Coming into Portland we flew right over Mt. Hood and she got to see the mountain with all the snow (and a snowman according to her), but best of all, after we landed and got our luggage, there were Mama and Daddy!!
