I’m going to do it

I’m going to take Oscar to Ethiopia with me when I pick up Etta.  I can’t decide whether I’m insane or not, but I just cannot stop thinking that coming home from my first trip away from him with a sibling for him is a horrible idea.  I’m hopeful that he won’t be quite three years old by the time we travel (although, with the way my wait is currently going . . . ), which I know means I’m in for a solid 15 hours to/from Dubai with at least one, if not two, screaming children.  Of course, right now I’m still in that blissful stage of thinking that my lovely daughter is going to be perfectly behaved and sleep the entire flight, curled in my arms (I know, even I’m snorting while typing that).

With that decision down, I think I’ve found the perfect suitcase for him.  He can stuff crap in it, drag it around, ride on it in the airport AND sit on it when tired.  Cute, huh?

Now, which one of you is telling my mom she’s going to Ethiopia with her daughter and grandson next spring/summer?  Anyone?
