In an effort to continue life as normal, I am doing what I can now to prepare for June. It's my school vacation week and the kids are at daycare. These 4 days could be just about the only large chunk of time that I have to plan and to organize. I have purchased tons of personal care items that we will need and also new over the counter medications that could come in handy. The last thing I want is to have an ill child and be confused over medication dosing because I am unfamiliar with the product and/or I can't read the label. I've also been thinking about how to entertain the kids on the plane and also in the apartment, since we won't have all of their toys. I've visited a few of our local toy stores (Henry Bear's Park and Tweet Tweet Toy Shop) and I've purchased some fun items that should be new and interesting for the kids. I picked up some ever-popular Wikki Stix; it's been years since Layla has seen them and they'll be new to Josh. I also picked up some new compact games similar to this Caterpillar game by Haba that we already owned. Layla already has a backpack that she will bring on the plane, but I purchased this shark one for Josh. I can't wait until he sees it! Between new toys and the iPad/Kindle/LeapPad, these kids are destined to have the most fun plane ride ever!
