Jaydon chuckled as he held Ben in one hand and held hands with Beth in the other. As far as he knew, this was the first time Beth would be in an airplane. He hoped she enjoyed it. Frankly, he hated airplanes, but mainly because they were always delayed in it was annoying.
Beth sat at the window seat, staring out at the clouds as they passed with wide eyed interest. He ruffled her hair, and she turned to him, smiling bigger than Jane when she saw the seven layer cake at the wedding. "Daddy, we're flying!"
"Are we?" He asked. "What makes you say that?"
She pointed at the window. "Clouds! See!"
Jaydon pretended to looked interested as he looked out the window. "I dunno, Beth. Those look more like giant floating mounts of cotton candy to me."
Beth laughed. "Daddy, you're silly!"
Jane stood in the middle of the living room, rocking Gabe in her arms and singing a lullaby to get him to fall asleep for the rest of the morning.
"The friendly dumplings all hold hands and create a big round ring
They laugh together while making towns on the dumpling star
The rabbits wave from the big moon in the sky
It takes all the happy and sad things and rounds them up"
