It's not just hearing airplanes that causes such ecstasy. Seeing pictures, flying them around the apartment, or watching them at the airport all bring just as much joy and excitement. I have no doubt that she is not the only toddler to have such an affinity, but I sometimes wonder if her's isn't a little more...visceral.
Oh, and her favorite airplane video, complete with Enya soundtrack, can be found here. Just in case you yourself are a lover of airplanes.
Flying airplane.
Airplane flying higher.
"AIRPLANE!"
Looking for it outside.

Evidently, she must take after Uncle Kean who, if I'm remembering correctly used to always light up at planes and blurt out "haiplane." If this hangs on, she'll LOVE major portions of your return trip! (Count your blessings there. ANYTHING to divert attention from 20 some hours of total travel time is a GOOD THING!!) It's also 'wicked fun' to see her begin to develop/use her language skills, huh? I've got a feeling that once she starts talking . . . and can ask all the questions that are building up inside that brain of hers, we'll ALL be busy explaining, describing and wondering along with her!

Kean liked airplanes, too, huh? At least they'll have something to talk about when he gets here ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I think you're right: when those words start coming there will be no stopping her, or quenching her curiosity. Kind of like her dad.
