The mission: Get Isabelle on as many free flights between now and her 2nd birthday as possible! Where we go and what we do... TBD. I've always wanted to just show up at the airport and figure out what flights are about to leave and board... maybe now is the time to actually do it! We've got two months left for Isabelle to fly for free. Look, paying for her ticket isn't a big deal - it's just that not having to pay for it somehow seems that much better!
Last night I told Isabelle a story while she went to sleep. She and Anika (she insisted on Anika as a travel companion) drove to the airport and spent a week in Paris together. They met Fifi the white, curly-haired dog and Jean-Philippe, the blonde, curly-haired god. Wait, different story! They walked along the Seine, searching for the bookstore with Walt Whitman's great-great-great-maybe great again - grandson. They ate nutella and banana crepes underneath the Eiffel Tower. They cruised the chunnel to catch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in London. Then they were very tired from their exciting day... and... fell...........aaahhhhhhh.....sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep...
Unfortunately, bedtime tonight wasn't so smooth. It was MOMO MADNESS:EXPERIENCE PAKISTAN night!!! Isabelle loved the chicken tikka while rockin to the beats of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan! And she wore her decorative, turquoise blue jingly outfit from Afghanistan. We've never had a sitter while we're still in the house, and it was impossible for Isabelle to comprehend how we could be so near and so far away. Kelsey was amazing (and tinkled on, I just learned), but there was no way Isabelle was going to bed without Mommy or Daddy.
It was great seeing everyone tonight - Nana, inaugural Momo'ers--Matt, Heather, and Olivia--Isabelle's Fairy Godmother, Beth, Ellen, Elise, Daniel, Nicole and Eric! Go MOMO!
