But here's the real delightful bit: the coffee and drinks on the plane were not only free, but delicious! And then... wait for it... our *free* snacks were a trio of delicious madeleines in vanilla, chocolate and raspberry. Leah Elena was asleep and in the row ahead of us so we asked the flight attendant to please leave one for her so she wouldn't miss out on this amazing-ness.
Well, our enthusiasm for the madeleines came full circle because the same lovely flight attendant came back and gave us some extra madeleines for later!
Lilly was a hot mess the whole flight, not sleeping. And I have now changed her diaper on two airplane bathrooms and a catamaran bathroom - among other tricky situation (ahem- dirty diaper at the beach 👎) but the crew was so helpful and kind that the crazy toddler situation wasn't really that bad at all.
Much to the kids delight, we got to exit the plane in the rear- which Jackson had asked about while still at CDG. So this went over huge. As we left our seats I did a final sweep as I tend to do (though some might call it a wee bit OCD) to look for random things we left behind and even joked about it with the flight attendant.
Much to our disappointment in the evening, Leah Elena realized she had taken off her special ring which her grandmother had given her so she could put on some hand lotion and then fell asleep- forgetting it. We've been calling airports and airlines and filing missing items reposts already. On a hopeful note- apparently our plane just goes back and forth between Cork and Paris with the same crew, so at least it stays between the two airports- assuming it's still in the plane.
**Update** On Thursday night, Leah Elena got a call from the Cork Airport lost and found and they have her ring!! On Saturday we are driving to Dublin so will go the route through Cork and get it. Amazing!!
