Leaving on a jet plan

The Boy is very excited to be flying on a plane to see his cousins. I am ... well, I'm excited to see everyone and praying traveling with the kiddo is as easy this time around as it has been in the past.

We're skipping the stroller this time around and traveling light, carry-on only. I've ditched the purse and the diaper bag for a giant shoulder bag. It was cheap -- $7 at Target -- and cute, but has no dividers, so I'm using gallon-size ziplocs to keep things from falling into a clump. One bag is filled with diapers and wipes. Another has crayons, books, a squishy ball, two cars, a slinky and other random toys for The Boy. A third has assorted snacks, including raisins and graham crackers. I do not have a book for myself because I'm being realistic; The Boy is flying as a lap-baby and I don't think reading is on my agenda.

Wish us luck!
