Packed and Ready to Go

This weekend Taevy and I had fun packing up thinks to send to Kendi's escort. We've been collecting things for a few months now, and I think we've finally got everything! Our escort asked that we pack "several outfits" in case of blow out problems on the airplane. I'm thinking 5 is "several" right?!

Here are the two bags: The backpack Kendi can wear, and the other little bag that can go in our escort's carryon luggage.

Here are the items in Kendi's backpack:

*Bottle (she still drinks from one and we are a-okay with that)

*Baby Doll

*Kaleidescope

*Play camera

*Bug "car"

*Twirlly light up think-a-ma-jig

*Fish push-button water game

*Pack of 3 princess board books

*Photo Album

*Flash cards (colors, shapes, etc.)

*colored pens

*two mini-play dough

*Notebook for doodling

*booties to keep feet warm in plane

*5 diapers

*1 set plastic pants (in case of pooh problems in the plane)

*2 board books (letters and America/states)

*Coming home outfit (dress, hat, socks)

Here are the items in the carryon bag:

*5 diapers

*care bag (for diaper changes or boo-boos)

*bib

*sweater (in case it's cold on the plane/airports)

*jeans w/ long sleeve shirt and hair barrette

*short sleeve dress and headband

*long pants and long sleeve shirt and headband

*short sleeve dress/capri outfit and headband

*two pairs of shoes (different sizes)

*two pairs of socks

*ladybug harness (just in case...)

Here are the items that I packed in the "care bag" that goes inside the carryon bag:

*24 individually packaged wet ones (for messes, diaper changes, etc.)

*2 pairs of latex gloves (for boo-boos and diaper changes--might have parasites on board!)

*first aid kit (includes bandaids, gauze, neosporin, etc.)

*8 count quart size travel bags (dirty diapers?, a million uses!)

*lotion for her dry skin

So, did I miss anything essential? We also got granola bars and fruit snacks to put in nooks and crannies. Sometimes a snack can make a child happier than anything else. =-)
