Traveling leaves little time for blogging. Traveling with a 2-year old leaves little time for anything.
We made our 10-hour trip better by dragging along a DVD player. Quite simply, it's the best way to keep a 2-year old quiet on the plane. (Plus, my kid is not quite 2 so she flew on our laps!) We flew a couple weeks ago, and we watched a lot of Elmo's World. Good for The Kid... got really old for Mom. So, I needed to get some movies that were good for a 22-month old... and tolerable for me.
We watched Shrek -- which was a huge hit -- but it was Monsters Inc that stole the show. The Kid loves it! (She calls is "Monster Movie".) Great movie for a kid since it's beautifully colorful, has great characters, and has an appropriate plot line for my little girl. I like it for The Kid since there are no Barbie-like characters, the dialog is not dumbed-down, and the she can remember her favorite parts.
DVD on a plane is not laptop television, but it's pretty cool to have that much time to laugh with your kid.
May I recommend Shark Tale? I don't have an opinion on Jolie versus Anniston but I do see the irony in the fact that Jolie was cast as the "fish seductress/homewrecker." See, there's something in ST for everyone - even the pop culture elite.
