Last weekend Layton and I flew to Dallas to stay with one of my friends from college. We decided to leave Clifton behind this trip so he could work and he also surprised me by painting the nursery as well. That was an awesome surprise to come home to. I was a little nervous about flying by myself with Layton especially being pregnant but it went so well. Layton loved to fly and he had so much fun. Once we got to Dallas he didn't want to get off the plane. It was a little challenging juggling him the car seat and the stroller but we managed just fine. Layton is Mr. Social every where we go and he talked to everyone and we made friends with all the people around us. During the flight he was very quiet and just sat and we looked out the window and watched a little Mickey Mouse. He even got to go up to the cockpit after the flight was over and sit in the pilot's seat and fly the plane himself. The pilots were so nice to let him do this. We had fun with Jackie we managed to take Layton to the park, do a little shopping, did some sewing, had delicious home made fondue one night, went swimming, met up with another friend, had Layton's pictures taken, sit in and see Jared's "special car" and I got to see another college friend before we headed to the airport Saturday night. Jackie has been wanting to learn how to sew for awhile so I taught her how to make a pillowcase dress and burp cloths for baby gifts. It was a quick trip but it was so nice to catch up in person and hang out. Jackie and her husband Jared who don't have any kids yet got to see what it is like having a busy toddler around too. Layton was well entertained by their two golden retrievers Lucy and Rusty the whole weekend. He was even telling people in the airport in Dallas that he was going to see Jackie and "Goose" which is her dog Lucy.
Our flight back went even better and Layton was excited to get back on a plane. After the flight was over we waited until everyone else got off the plane and I asked the pilots if he could take a look at the cockpit and they were more than happy to let Layton play for a few minutes. This time they were showing him different buttons that made different noises and were so nice to him. They told him "Layton you could fly this thing you just need to fill out an application," He looked up at them and said "I need a pencil." The whole flight crew was laughing at this point and they were impressed with how well he could talk for a 2 year old. We ended up walking through the airport in San Antonio with the whole flight crew talking to all of them. They were so good to Layton and let him play in the airplane a good 10 minutes. They have no idea how much it meant to Layton. He was in heaven up there with them pushing all the buttons. Here are a bunch of pictures from our busy but fun weekend in Dallas.
