We have a trip coming up soon. Michaela and I will be going to visit family and it's been the topic of conversation for a couple of weeks now. She wants to go to the airport. She wants to go see "Grandpa and Grandpa" (and by that, she means Grandma and Grandpa Jeff) in "Connec-kit" and Mimi and Papa in "N'York." She wants to "roll in airport" (we have wheels for her car seat, so we strap her in and wheel her through the airport that way instead of using a stroller). She wants to "go airplane!"
Every day for the past two weeks, I've been counting down the days for her. Of course, a two-year-old has no concept of time, so that's pretty useless and she doesn't seem to understand that we can't go NOW, but she seems to forget about it after a while every day.
This morning, though, she decided to take matters into her own hands. She declared that she was "going on airplane," asked for help getting her backpack on, and then her hat, and she set off around the living room. I guess she was thinking she'd get to the airport that way. Thankfully she was easily distracted from her "trip" with some Buzz and Woody coloring pages, but I think we'll probably see a repeat of this over the next few days.
Hopefully she's still as excited to go when the time comes!
