Jackson took his first solo airplane ride at age 8 today to Tx to visit grandparents.....he did great, much better than I did, in fact. He had a few choked up moments, after our goodbye hug when he started to turn away and walk down the jetway but I was really having a hard time watching him walk down that jetway to the airplane and knowing that he was scared. By the time I waited for his airplane to take off, I was puffy-eyed, nauseated, and really wishing I had a prescription for Ativan. :) I'm so thankful he was brave enough to get on that plane even though he was scared and nervous at the last minute because I know he overcame and conquered a fear today and that's good for developing character and boosting a boy's self esteem. :) Plus--- he's already being spoiled by Mommommy and Poppy like you wouldn't believe and that's good for a boy too!!!
