We went to the airport Thursday to watch Daddy "fly off". Brad is travelling to Chicago. It has been a while since Connor has been to the airport to see daddy "fly away". This time he understood and questioned soo much more. As we drove down Airways Rd. He spotted a crane "like Cranky". That's all he kept shouting..."like Cranky!!like Cranky!" Sure enough at the airport there was a big crane working on something "like Cranky" (Cranky is the crane in Thomas the Train)
Living where airplanes fly over ever 5 minutes, we have always watched planes. This time the airport visit was much more than watching planes. Connor can ride on the escalator!! He wanted to know "where all these people go?" He really wanted to actually help Daddy check in by pushing the screen. Luckily we had a sweet lady helping us who invited him to assist. Connor also really wanted to go with Daddy this time and ride the airplane. He knows that the pilot drives the plane for the people to ride. As we watched planes take off and land...he would notice the difference in sizes as they go closer and farther away. The airport took on new meaning this trip.
It's always hard to leave daddy. We had lots of hugs and kisses and "group hugs" and "group kisses". This time was the first time Connor really wanted to go. I kinda regret not going on this trip...but mayber next time.As we left the airport and found our car in the parking garage with the "cool lights", Connor announced to me that "daddy flies away!". If you ask him where daddy flew to he responds with a hearty "chiCAgo" as if he was born and raised there!?!!? We can't wait for him to come back home!
