DO: tell him every day for approximately 2 months that soon he will be going on an airplane so that he’s emotionally and physically prepared for everything that is to come

DON’T: In tizzy of leaving give him a weird lop-sided diaper that will basically accomplish nothing

DEFINITELY DON’T: smack his head on the bulkhead while trying to get him in his seat, ruining all promises that flying is fun and amazing and where dreams come true

DO: DRINK, HOWEVER AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE
