We did it!

Sunday morning I took on the great challenge of flying by myself with both boys. I spent several weeks metally preparing, running through various situations and creating an action plan on how to tackle the daunting task. And I am happy to report that with the help of children's Benadryl and the awesome Baby Jogger stroller, I was victorious! Everything went perfectly. We took about 15-20 minutes to get through security, but I just took my time and Ben was very good and stayed by my side when he had to be out of the stroller. Ben enjoyed watching the planes and was starting to go into comotose mode by the time we had to give Nick one of his breathing treatments before getting on the plane. We had an entire row of seats to ourselves which was awesome. Once on the plane, Nick slept the whole time and Ben sat quietly in his seat and even dosed for a bit. We all had some ear pain on the decent due to the pressure changes and all having colds. I was almost crying my ear hurt so bad. Ben took it better than I did. Below are pictures of both kids sleeping on me. Now I can only hope it goes as well on the flight back - we'll see!
