Flying with a Toddler

Five weeks from yesterday, but who's counting, E. and I fly to the mainland. My heart is filled with dread. I've heard horror stories about flying with toddlers. I'm looking for entertainment ideas. So far we have...

1) DVD player with some Disney movies (desperate times, desperate measures)
2) Zoo backpack
3) Stickers
4) New stuffed animal
5) My Little Pony (as stated, desperate times...)
6) Crayons
7) PlayFoam

Does anyone have any brilliant suggestions? I've heard that wrapping the toys up in tissue paper makes them more exciting. Are there any other ideas. The hubby suggested I crate her and put her with the checked luggage. Someone else suggested lots of alcohol, for me, not her.

Children and Cursing

National Public Radio did a segment called Why Kids Curse. It seems quite relevant since E. has THREE curse words under her belt, thanks GramGi, Daddy, and Dave.

Children's Place Sale

The Outlet at The Children's Place is having a great sale with $5 flat rate shipping. They have PJs for as low as $4.99, t-shirts for $1.99, and shoes for $4.99. I found a coupon code for 15% off, S1A48. Supposedly, if you sign up with them, they'll send you coupons regularly.
