Yesterday, Nicholas and I went to Paradise Pond with some friends from church. Nicholas had a great time playing with Brendon and Danielle. Afterwards, we took the kids to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. They have a really cool series of Kid's Meal toys on The History of Flight. Nicholas got several paper airplanes as well as a paper-piecing glider of Amelia Earhart's Lockheed 5B Vega in which she was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Nicholas helped Daddy separate the plane pieces from the paper but the instructions were so complex that Daddy ended up putting the rest of the plane together.
Nicholas enjoyed flying the plane around for a while. However, it is only made of paper so it probably would not have survived an hour like that. Daddy had a great idea to suspend it from Nicholas' ceiling. He hung it up near the Moon in Your Room and the clouds that I painted on his wall. It looks really cool and Nicholas loves looking up from his bed and seeing his plane "flying" across his room!
