Flying High

I wouldn't have thought the Museum of Flight would be so much fun for a 19 month old, but Laine had a blast when we met up with the Heidergott boys there! The kids area had planes to climb into, a helicopter to "pilot" and a hot air balloon that you could push a button to raise and lower the balloon part.

We were working and working on saying "airplane," and I thought for sure after this trip she would come out with the word--but we got different results than expected. As we were standing outside before Kate and the boys arrived, a plane flew DIRECTLY over us. It was so loud and startled me more than Laine! I told her "That was loud!" She repeated "loud!" and from then on she says "loud" when she sees an airplane in the sky. I bought her a little plane and she puts it in the air above her head and says "fshhhh!" making the sound of flying.
