Our journey to Paris via Toronto began pre-dawn (4:30am!) with a quiet taxi ride to LAX. Spencer, amazed to be awake while it was still dark outside, was in surprisingly good spirits considering we woke him from slumber. We brought along breakfast and a change of clothes (Spencer's I Heart Planes t-shirt) to pass the time in the airport before our flight departed. Spencer was charming everyone with his enthusiasm for throwing things away in the trash can (I made it!) and his pretend phone calls from the pay phones.
The flight itself went smoothly. Spencer loved his two new books, Curious George takes a Trip and Amelia Bedilia as well as his new set of lacing cards. He watched a couple of children's shows on the inflight seat back player with the sound off, narration provided by Daddy. Fatigue eventually got the better of him leading him to doze off for about an hour.
Upon our arrival in Toronto, Spencer insisted on pulling his own suitcase to our next gate which slowed down the process considerably. Good thing we had a five hour layover which we spent eating unappetizing fast food, watching Spencer climb the leopard statues in the children's "play area" and receiving misinformation from the Air Canada customer aide desk. Grandma and Grandpa showed up just in time to change Spencer into his pajamas for our overnight flight.
