We are flying some 30000ft above sea level, somewhere over the Pacific. The Scout is cranky. He is tired of sitting. He is tired of the brown-bear and the caterpillar and other toys and non-toys-that-have-become-toys and everything else. He wants to cruise all over the grubby aisles of the plane. I need to think of something else to keep him occupied on this 15-hour long flight. May be in sometime we can cut a birthday cupcake I sneaked in my handbag. May be we will softly sing the birthday song and give the wriggly little one a big hug. May be we will take pictures of the three of us. I always had a thing against big birthday parties for kids but could it get any cozier than this? Happy 1st kiddo.

PS1: Drafted on Nov 25 and scheduled to be posted on Nov 27.
PS2: That's what I think his birthday will end up being as I type this. Will update on what it actually turns out to be.
PS3: We are in India for a couple of weeks. Hoping to blog and comment intermittently.

    TPL/MiM: This was no premeditated-bucket-worthy-birthday-in-the-air or anything. It was more like "Duh! We booked tickets and didn't realize we will be flying on his birthday".
    CA: I should have said "first leg of 15 hours". :)
    To the BLR bloggers: Was in BLR. Wanted to get in touch so badly but was really hard with a jetlagging kid and n-hundred relatives. The loss is truly mine. :(
