looking forward to the rest of this holiday week with my boys. so palmer has cut 2 new teeth! i couldn't figure out where he was getting them but they are the upper 2 next to the k-9s. . . not the k-9's the ones next to them. ouchy. . .
man it feels like i am constantly cleaning the house. with palmer picking things up and carrying them places it's a never ending battle. . . i still haven't accomplished much as far as my homework goes. . . 2 papers, 2 tests, 1 response, 2 presenations and 1 quiz. shew. . .
i'm trying to figure out what to get for palmer on the plane. i think it might be my million dollar idea to put together gift packs of travel fun for different age groups. maybe it exists but i haven't found it and i've been researching traveling with a toddler a lot.
so the laptop is too big and all palmer would do is press the buttons. . . thinking kids travel dvd player but the battery only stays charged 2 hours, and we'll be on a 8 hour trip. . . should i just get a ipod that plays video? hmmm. . . .

We looked into DVD players also. Some have batteries that last much longer, or you could buy a second battery. You can also watch videos (transferred from any DVD) on a PSP, and they last 5 or 6 hours. But we ended up deciding we couldn't justify the cost, plus buying the player would be admitting, in a very concrete way, that we have totally failed at the whole don't-let-your-kids-watch-any-tv-before-the-age-of-two thing.
One suggestion I found online was The Quiet Time Book. We bought it and the first page entertains Regin for long stretches, but not when he's upset on the plane.
Hope you have better luck with Palmer!
oops! The book we bought regin is actually "My Quiet Book" not sure if it's the same one as the one suggested online. Anyway, he enjoys it.
