TSA with a toddler

We made it to the gate! Whew! Security wasn’t too bad and we got to do TSA-pre again which meant not removing shoes, liquids or laptops. They even let Harry keep “Tom” after the security lady checked it out carefully first. Leanne also forgot all about the half full milk bottle in her bag and they didn’t even notice.

We stopped at Tim Hortons just before the border and Harry’s cuteness scored him two Timbits.

Harry fell asleep about 20 minutes from the airport. So he is due for a nap.

Right now Leanne is taking him on a tour of the airport.

Letting a 21-month-old choose his own MagicBand colour

We let Harry pick his own MagicBand colour…3 times.

The first time was using my iPhone and I was just going to pick the first one he touched on my phone. But then he picked the pink one, twice. Then the default, very un-fun colour of grey. Finally he picked yellow, whew.

Since his little mind is learning more and more every day I decided to let him try picking again. This time he picked green. (Or at least that’s where he first touched on the iPad)

Finally with only 2 days left to choose I let him try one more time and well he just didn’t care, he just wanted to touch everything on the iPad. I need to disable 4 finger app switching as his fingers, plus my fingers, on the iPad at the same time, cause a lot of frustrating app switching.

His MagicBand is now orange because that is the latest colour he has been able to say. He picked up a large orange duck in the bathtub and said “Ownge”. We also did a quick Google image search for orange MagicBands and saw one around some chubby little kid’s arm, which made Leanne go “aw” which meant that was the colour Harry had to have.

On a side note I’m not exactly sure why he even gets a MagicBand as I don’t feel comfortable giving room charging privileges to an almost 2-year-old, and I highly doubt he will need his own key to our room (although I wouldn’t mind him taking the bus back to our room by himself to have a nap in the middle of the day; heck, if he did that I’d gladly give him charging privileges…)
