Wow, so many new things here!

My wife will not fly with me,
but I'm still hopeful that that day will be sooner rather than later.

This is so sad, but not uncommon. Care to elaborate on her reasons?

but today was looking pretty decent, and I'd done 16 touch &
goes the day before

SIXTEEN touch & goes? Wow -- I don't think I've ever done more than 8 in
one flight, even as a primary student! I'll bet you've perfected your
landings, eh?

:-)

This time I asked my 2
year old if she'd like to come with me today. She agreed

Is that a typo? You *asked* your 2-year old, and got a cogent answer?

My kids were flying with me at that age (they are now 10 and 13), but I
don't think we ever asked them to go...

On downwind my
little girl started throwing up.

This is one reason why I never fly with a small child alone. Of course,
with a 152, you're options are limited! :-)

Each of my kids has been sick in the plane once -- both when they were under
age 5. Now, with hundreds of hours apiece, they sit in back in moderate
turbulence and read Harry Potter books, with no apparent discomfort.

One needs to understand that I'm generally a sympathetic
vomiter

Now *there* is something I've never heard before. You puke when other
people are getting ill?

I guess I'm glad that's not a universal problem. (Imagine the headline:
"Motion-Sick Girl Infects Thousands!")

Was able to get her home and cleaned up and when my wife asked her if
she ever wanted to go flying with daddy again she said "Not today anymore,
tomorrow". Hopefully she'll be willing in the future, she's still pretty
excited that we went. Maybe with more positive experiences (it was
positive
overall at least) we can convince her mother to go with me sometime down
the
road.

Um, reality check here. Your little girl barfed in the cabin, and your wife
is specifically asking her if she ever wants to fly with you again? This
doesn't sound like an experience that will grease the skids toward getting
your wife to go along next time, IMHO.

1. Do they make anything like Dramamine for kids? If not, any suggestions?
I
know it took my awhile to get a stomach that wouldn't get queasy when
flying.

Skip the drugs. Fly on a calm day, in the early morning or early evening,
when the winds are light. Limit the flight to 30 minutes, limit bank angle
to standard rate, do everything extremely smoothly -- and SKIP THE TOUCH AND
GOES. Landings are only "fun" and "interesting" to pilots -- first time
passengers can be terrified by them, which contributes to their queasiness.

All most passengers really want is to see their local mall, their home, and
a pretty sunset -- and to survive the landing.
