It explains about copy and paste which you may not know about; at least it looks that way from your comment.

The worst age is when they've outgrown the travel cot but aren't big enough to sit still for more than 5 seconds. SIGH. It's really exhausting. Mine are a bit older now though (6+8) so it's got a bit less hideous.Gone Back Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391620186388562057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054120486545850431.post-46300134756514544912008-07-09T15:12:00.000+01:002008-07-09T15:12:00.000+01:00You are so brave.

I haven't taken 4 year old daughter on a plane yet; I will take your advice on board.<BR/><BR/>May I also say that I have travelled around the world on plane voyages ranging from 45 mins to 20 hours and I ALWAYS HAD THE SEAT-KICKING CHILD BEHIND ME!! It became a standing joke between me and my husband. Really, how difficult is it to say "Don't kick the seat?" or am I being naive?Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054120486545850431.post-81419894521366113162008-07-09T08:47:00.000+01:002008-07-09T08:47:00.000+01:00Visiting via another blog, shuddering at the memor...Visiting via another blog, shuddering at the memory of a 12 hour flight from Johannesburg to Heathrow with 5 year old, 6 buns with pink icing on and projectile vomiting for the last 3 hours.
