Wednesday we caught the plane to Vancouver and what a nightmare. I swear I don't ever want to fly with a child again!!!! As we sat down, Rylen decided that it was a good time to have a fit. Not just any fit but a full on screaming, yelling, kicking tantrum! I knew that part of it was because he didn't have a nap that day and the other part was because its not fun when you have to be held down for 30 minutes.
5-10 minutes into the flight I ended up giving him gravel to see if that would help. Within 2 minutes Rylen looked a little "out of it" and within 3 minutes he was out like a light! The rest of the flight was nice and peaceful for everyone.
Once we arrived in Vancouver we had a little bit of a wait until the next flight. As we boarded the plane and we were getting ready for take-off Rylen was having fun and making people laugh. I feared the worst because the last flight so I actually warned the rest of the passengers.
"you might think he's cute now, just wait for the screaming!" I said.
To my surprise Rylen was great! I managed to occupy him for the entire flight.
We made it to Courtenay in good spirits and we will be having lots of fun for the next 2 weeks until the next plane ride.
