First Flight Is Golden
At 16 weeks of age it was time for Joshua to see some of his relatives in QLD, so we booked seats on a flight up to the Gold Coast for a long weekend. Taking some natural refreshments on the way up and on the way down, he was by far the best-behaved child on the flight. I think he even slept for a while – and no screaming. With the ‘rehearsal flight’ under his belt, we are quietly confident that he will be able to handle a longer flight – but there are obviously no guarantees that he will be a dream on a long-haul flight. He was gold non-the-less. A very happy start to the holiday!
He enjoyed meeting his grandmother and on meeting her, proceeded to ‘chat’ with her for what seemed like 2 minutes. He had not done that with us. She was very pleased that he was so excited to meet her. They enjoyed early morning walks together and gave us a chance to catch up on some sleep.
Young Master Smith even attended his great-grandmothers’ 90th birthday and was handed around the rellies. He was so well behaved (not at all like his ‘it’s-only-mum-and-dad-around’ persona). He made good eye-contact and again, there were no histrionics. Below is a photo of him and Uncle Ed.
