I have to admit I was really worried about how I would cope on my own if she had a meltdown. I tried to time the flight with her naps which didnt really work at all, so by the time I got to the airport she was already awake over 3 hours 🤷♀️. I was lucky I had my trusty snoozyshade with me, so I covered the buggy and did a few laps around the terminal to get her off to sleep. A quick cup of coffee for mom and a goodbye to dad and the little monkey was awake again.
The departures was a breeze at Heathrow as there is a seperate entrance for buggies when scanning your boarding pass. Even the security team were nice and let me join the shortest que, (it must be Isobel’s cheeky smiles). I can see now why parents bring kids on holidays, it was the quickest time through security I’ve ever had!!
I brought a small playmat with me that could fit in the buggy so Isobel could stretch out while waiting to board. She is such a little wriggler now, I know when she gets moving, she will be hard to keep up with.
The flight was just over an hour as I visit family in Ireland for a few weeks. Thankfully no dramas, her teething toys and the inflight magazine kept her entertained!
I will be taking a short blogging break for a while as I catch up with extended family. Looking forward to home cooked dinners, open fires and extra hands to help with Isobel
