I'd love to take them along but my wife's about 6 months pregnant and my son
won't keep his earplugs in his ears nor will he keep the headset on his
head!

Maybe that's when I'll be able to fly more. I expect some further
degradation of flight hours once the second one is born.

Thanks!

Marco

Take 'em along!

My son has been flying since he was a toddler, and my daughter has flown
since birth. It's somewhat of a military operation, getting them loaded

in
the plane -- but that's no different then EVERYTHING else in your life,

with
little kids.

Just takes more planning....

And it *does* pass. To be replaced by whining, which, in turn, is
supplanted by surliness.

I can hardly wait to see what's next! :-)

Well, Mary flew when she was pregnant, right up till the week before
delivery.

When my kids wouldn't keep their ear plugs in, we would simply tie their
hoods tightly around their faces. This effectively kept those chubby little
fingers from removing the earplugs, and all was well. Actually, we found
that they would usually fall fast asleep within minutes after take-off.

In fact, they often still do, at ages 10 and 13.

Ya know, that tight hood idea is a good one! I must have read scores of
"flying your kids" threads but I must have missed that little gem. I must
try that when I get home...

Thanks,

Marco
