Zoe has this airport thing down. Long check-in line, check. Shoes off, check. Bear in the bin next to shoes, check (she knows he'll be right back in her arms on the other side). Run extra fast while giggling on the moving walkway (her favorite part). Go potty. Wait at gate, check. Run like mad through the airport while you still can, oh yes. Then it's sit down, quiet down, nibble pretzels and sip gingerale, all while perusing the guide about how to successfully de-board in the event of a water landing. "Mommy, are we going to land in the ocean?".
"I hope not, honey."
"But, it shows you right here (points to drawing of plane in water, slides out). When do we get to do that?"
"Hopefully never, unless Sully is driving the plane. We're not going to land in the water."
"But, look-"
"Mmm hmm. Zoe. Hush."
"What are these things for? (Points to drawing of passengers with bright yellow oxygen masks)".
"They're oxygen masks. Let's look at the catalog instead..."

She is such a pro. And Julian will be, too. Just like Daddy and Uncle Alex at their ages. Great to see these little "citizens of the world."
Seems to me I have made that exact same comment before. Oh well, guess I'm repeating myself and age is my excuse! I am wondering if that is Monsieur Bear or Senor Bear.
Zoe told us that this was Senor Bear she brought to our house this visit. I can feel Fairlight's nervousness over the mere hint of a "water landing" while Zoe was fascinated by the concept in the drawings. Let's see if she'll settle for Splash Mountain on our next visit to Disneyland.
