Traveling leaves little time for blogging. Traveling with a 2-year old leaves little time for anything.
We made our 10-hour trip better by dragging along a DVD player. Quite simply, it’s the best way to keep a 2-year old quiet on the plane. (Plus, my kid is not quite 2 so she flew on our laps!) We flew a couple weeks ago, and we watched a lot of Elmo’s World. Good for The Kid… got really old for Mom. So, I needed to get some movies that were good for a 22-month old… and tolerable for me.
We watched Shrek — which was a huge hit — but it was Monsters Inc that stole the show. The Kid loves it! (She calls is "Monster Movie".) Great movie for a kid since it’s beautifully colorful, has great characters, and has an appropriate plot line for my little girl. I like it for The Kid since there are no Barbie-like characters, the dialog is not dumbed-down, and the she can remember her favorite parts.
DVD on a plane is not laptop television, but it’s pretty cool to have that much time to laugh with your kid.
Just trying to squeeze in some television between mothering, working and crashing.
May I recommend Shark Tale? I don’t have an opinion on Jolie versus Anniston but I do see the irony in the fact that Jolie was cast as the “fish seductress/homewrecker.” See, there’s something in ST for everyone - even the pop culture elite.
