I'm about to embark on every parent's worst travel nightmare: back-to-back cross-country flights with my lovable but very active 2-year-old daughter Sara.
In my younger days, I always glared at harried parents who couldn't stop their toddlers from kicking the seat in front of them, screaming whenever their favorite toy fell out of reach and crying non-stop through several states. I have now met the enemy, and he is me.
I do have a secret weapon, however: Sara will be watching a selection of her favorite DVDs on my laptop. I'll have about two hours of guaranteed distraction _ the limit of the laptop's battery _ on each flight.
Thank goodness ...
