The trip this last week was Ryder's first real travel time and we were VERY pleasantly surprised with how well he did on the car rides and the flights. It was a 'breakthrough' time for him and on the flight to Palm Springs he really opened up to us and was very interactive, smiling, smiling, smiling and truly responding to our coos and ooohs and aaaahs. It was so fun and I think the people sitting near us on the flight enjoyed it as much as we did.
