Beck's Big Birthday Present

Saturday was a big day for Beck. He got to cash in on his 4th birthday present to fly on a plane. He has been fascinated with everything that moves- planes, trains, cars, monster trucks, helicopters- doesn't matter. Jeff has been travelling more and he would talk about getting to fly too. So we got him and Jeff tickets from Austin to Dallas so he would get the chance.
Beck played in his basketball game on Saturday morning and scored two baskets, and then we got some lunch and dropped off him and Jeff at the airport. He got some ice cream, went through security, checked a bag, and then made it on the plane. He met the pilot and got to play with the 'shooter thing' (i.e. the joystick) and actually moved the plane a bit. The flight attendants ate him up, and he got wings, coloring books, and of course- peanuts. He has pointed to everything in the sky since then and can't wait to get on another plane. In fact, he wasn't super thrilled that Jeff got to get on another one today and he didn't. 'It's not fair Mama.' Good luck rationalizing that one.
