Sticky

Waiting for the Park N Fly van very early the morning of our departure

When you travel with a toddler, you must be extra prepared -- for hunger, tantrums, illness, spills, random whims. Among the airplane distractions I packed for Katie were some sheets of stickers. I was sure they'd last a good 30 minutes, thinking she'd want to carefully place each one on the pages of a coloring tablet I packed.

Instead, she decorated her jacket with the Sesame Street and Dora stickers. And then she decided to share them with me. And then she was done. All in about 10 minutes.

I love that these photos show some remaining chubbiness in her sweet cheeks.
