The Kid is First Class

The Kid recently made his first flight to Chicago to visit the small horde that is The Wife's extended family. T-Bear and Monkey were unable to make the flight. Well Monkey could make the flight, but is not foolish enough to even consider going to Chicago before May. T-Bear, on the other hand, had an unfortunate incident involving way to many honey lattes, a very long security line and an unsuspecting TSA officer, that has resulted in him spending a brief period of time on the do not fly list.

So Dork Boy, The Wife and The Kid made the nice early trip to the airport. After a brief bit of security line anxiety by Dork Boy, they made it through security and to the gate on time. It was shortly after this that The Kid got to experience the greatness that is First Class - the super reclining seats, the tasty treats and the free drinks, it was totally his kind of scene. He immediately dubbed himself officially a first class only baby. While the The Kid didn't get to try the drinks, he did seem to enjoy the lovely engine white noise. He was an excellent flyer, and by the end of the flight he was actually beloved by his fellow First Class Individuals.

The Kid sort of enjoying the First Class Experience.

Once The Kid arrived in Chicago, he got to experience a new first - snow!!!! The Kid was not that huge a fan of the snow, but he was positively jovial in comparison to The Wife who might have taught the kid a few new words when she saw the snow.

After recovering from the snow The Kid had a very nice visit. He had lots of quality time with Gigi and Grammy and he got to spend some time watching some March Madness with Poppy. He and Poppy also tried talking a little German. The Kid seemed to enjoy it a lot, but his baby coos were probably not nearly guttural enough to be true german baby talk.

He got to see the original crazy Aunts, who were crazy as normal. He saw his "sorta" Aunts Allie and Kristen, as well as Baby MC, Mr. Mario, and Princess Lulu. In addition, he got to hang out with his cousins(of some unclear amount of degree and removedness) Maximus Canon Hands and Tater Buns. Thanks to them, The Kid is now much more knowledgeable on the ways of super heroes and super villains. The Kid has begun trying to coo "Wolverine". It's not going so well.

Cousin Maximus Canon Hands is a little concerned about The Kid's inability
to understand the anti-hero cool of Wolverine.
