Matthew's first big trip

I just looked at the last post and noticed it was over a month old. It's not that Matthew hasn't been doing anything the past month, quite the opposite.
So we are planning for our big trip to Italy. We leave in two days and we think we have everything set for the trip. I tell you , planning a long trip with a two year old is quite a task. I think it would be easier to fly with my dog than with Matthew. We tried the 'ol Benedryl trick this weekend and it really knocked him out so we plan to drug him on the plane. I know that sounds so bad, but those of you you have traveled with children can relate. I wanted to make sure he had some sort of ID on him at all times in Italy so we looked for an ID bracelet. We couldn't find one so we settled for a luggage tag that we will pin to his belt loop each morning. We are going to put his name, our names and the name of the place we are staying in case he should get lost.
I really think the hardest part of the trip will be the flight. Once we are there he wile be fine. We have even been working on his Italian language. We tried teaching him Ciao Bella, but it just comes out Ciao Baby. I think they will still get the point. And we have been trying to get him to say Gelato instead of ice cream. Of course his Aunt and Uncle have been trying to teach him Sclerragia (sp?) which means fart in Italian. His favorite food lately has been "Pisa" which means pizza so I think he will fit right in.
