Upset Children in Public

I was recently on a few airline flights. On a couple of those flights, there were young children (toddler or younger) who got upset at some point during the trip. On past flight experiences, I have found myself become frustrated with the noise, especially if it continued for a long period. Since having my own children, that has changed. During my recent flights, I found myself feeling sympathetic instead for the child and their parent / caregiver who was trying to calm them. I assume this to be similar for many parents. This is just one aspect of myself that has changed since becoming a father.

Growing Up Quickly

The twins are now just over 7 months old. They have been growing and developing so much. John is fairly easy-going, unless he is hungry or tired, and likes to be the one to 'sit-back' and watch everything around him. Ava on the other hand, is constantly moving around and is in the early stages of crawling now. She wants to constantly be entertained. She doesn't even nap as long as John does. We think Ava will be the trouble-maker in the future. We already need to keep a close eye on her when she is playing.
