Noah knows aviation


Book of Eli is shooting in New Mexico and Broderick has been back and forth to New Mexico a lot. Last week we traveled with him to spend the week in New Mexico. Noah has always been good on a plane, even in infancy – and we happen to be travel often. Usually she has her DVD player and that keeps her, oh-so occupied. This time, though, she sat with her dad across the isle for a big part of the flight and they talked and she looked out the window and explained how the plane works. While the flight attendant was doing her “in case of emergency” schpeal Noah said, “Daddy if there’s a problem with the plane these things will drop down and we use them to breathe. If the plane bumps into something.” She went on to tell him, “I know this stuff because I’m smart.” She also explained that the clouds are soft and the plane can fly through them without any problem. She also knows what to do at security check – she doesn’t have to be asked to take her shoes off and will immediately help (or forces, rather) Isaiah with his shoes.

This picture was taken one afternoon when we walked around Sante Fe (one of my least favorite places in NM.) Lots of overpriced art, and liberal people (which is wonderful) but mostly it's about shopping and waiting an hour for a table at a restaurant. I can do that in LA.
