Child Sofia may solely be 10 months previous, however she’s already turning into fairly the little traveler! After spending a week at the Drummond Ranch—the place she went on lengthy stroller walks with Ree, performed in Ree’s lobby (her favorite room, naturally), and served because the household’s main source of entertainment—she and her mother, Alex, packed as much as head dwelling to Dallas.
Alex shared just a few snapshots from their journey day, and actually, they may very well be their very own parenting guide. First up: Sofia, quick asleep in her automobile seat on the way in which to the airport, pacifier in place, pink rooster pajamas on full show. “Within the automobile heading to the airport,” Alex wrote, “simply on schedule to nap.” (Any mother who’s ever managed to time a nap with the beginning of a highway journey is aware of that is a small miracle!)
Then got here the airport confession that had everybody laughing: “Simply right here to admit that we would be the household who lets their infants crawl round on the airport flooring,” Alex wrote over a photograph of Sofia fortunately sitting on the terminal carpet, surrounded by toys and a water bottle. “It will increase her immune system.” Exhausting to argue with that! If you’re flying solo with a child, you do what it’s important to do. 😂
It is Sofia’s fourth flight up to now, which formally makes her essentially the most well-traveled Drummond child up to now. (We’re guessing Ree would happily accompany her on all of them if she might.) This weekend’s journey might have been quick, however subsequent up is the massive one: Alex and Sofia will fly from Dallas to New York to fulfill Ree for the launch of her new cookbook and the beginning of her guide tour.
Four flights down, one cross-country journey to go. If Sofia can deal with an airport flooring, she will be able to deal with something!
