checked in and ready to fly

We arrived early, checked our luggage and got some lunch. Reni awoke like his old self this morning, but since arriving at the airport, Ellie's anxieties took root and the littlest thing irritates her. She had to point out in a loud voice that she did not like police (as we were three feet from TSA), and dissolved into tears when she didn't turn the stroller at the right place and the corner of the table "got" her. This is our first time flying as a family of four and while you might think she would be feeding off the stress of her parents, we have been remarkably relaxed ... That is until she started down her rabbit hole. Reni is having a blast elicited tons of smiles walking through the metal detector.
