Liam’s second flight

We went to Germany for Easter and this provided Liam with a chance to fly for the second time. He was actually quite cool about the whole experience. When we first got onto the plane he had his poker face on and was looking very suspiciously at the interior and the other passengers. He was a little concerned about the takeoff and kept looking up at me as he lay on my lap. After a while was having fun and spent some time reading the safety instruction page, which he laughed at and flapped around. He found travelling quite tiring and soon went to sleep lying on my lap with his head on my arm.
He made a few small complaints on the way down, so Caroline fed him which did the trick. We changed planes in Berlin for our connection to Stuttgart and he was much the same on the next flight… what a good lad :)
In Stuttgart we took the local train to Harrenberg where Caroline’s mum met us in her car. Caro’s brother was also there for Easter and had his first chance to see Liam. The weather was great and we had a good time in the sun. we visited some of Caro’s friends in the area and visited the old town of Harrenberg. There’s an old castle on the hill behind the town and we walked up to the top to see the view and stop at the café. I flew home on the Tuesday evening, leaving Caroline and Liam to say another week with her mum. Then they would go on to Cologne to visit her friends there.

Back from England

Following a busy week in England we are back home for a few days. I was there in London on business for a metro conference and Caroline and Liam came along too. This was Liam’s first flight, which he managed in his usual casual manner. After some initial suspicion, he mellowed up, relaxed in my arms, laughed, read the safety instructions and then slept. We stayed at Michaels during the week and had a good time cooking and chatting with him. Zoe came over one evening to see Liam and ate with us all. Actually she helped cook too. We had arranged to meet the family at various locations so we could take them out for dinner to celebrate our wedding with them. On the Friday we had a hire car and drove to Carol’s for a pub lunch with Dad and WSM. We then drove down to Mum and Ross’s for the weekend. On the Sunday we met up with the rest of the family and Penny’s family for a pub lunch. We then drove back to Heathrow on the Monday for our flight back to Sweden. Again, Liam was great on the plane.
