I have decided to tell the long story in pieces. I'll write a little more as I get time and eventually the whole story will be told so...Part I
So the story goes...We flew out of D.C. on February 14th at about 4:30. It was a 5 hour flight to L.A. Liam's bedtime occurred during this flight which turned into an all out battle as he wanted to sleep flat in a bed, not in the carrier I had, not on my lap, etc. I tried many different things. He screamed and screamed while people on the plane tried to give helpful suggestions of a pacifier for his "hurting ears" and other advice which I appreciated but was very annoyed about as I tried to figure out what to do with this screaming child. He finally gave up and fell asleep across mine and Kristin's lap. As we landed in L.A. I tried to quickly transfer him from our laps to the carrier and book it off the plane, which everyone allowed me to do but Liam woke up and was very unhappy to be awake yet again. We didn't have much time to get to our next flight and once we got on the plane and up high enough in the air Liam was able to sleep in a bassinet. The plane was a double decker; not up and down but lengthwise. There was a set of bathrooms in the middle of the plane and we were sitting behind them. The bassinet screwed into the wall and folded out. Liam slept for most of the ride and Jason and I tried to grab a few hours of shut eye although planes are not the most comfortable places to sleep and the seats didn't lay back any further than a regular plane :(
