O.K. I realize this is a pretty sad commentary on my life, but my child who just turned three can already pull out a bin and knows to immediately take off her shoes and put the bin on the belt.

That said, we have obviously traveled alot and have never had a problem with taking milk or fruit on a plane. Water I haven't tried because I always just asked a stewardess for one of the mini bottles of water. They have always been VERY accommodating but I think it is more often because the last thing they want is a unhappy toddler which makes for unhappy adults . We also used the dry formula in the bottle trick and then mixed with the water on the other side (that is when I finally got my daughter to buy into the whole formula thing). I am convinced my child is destined to be a gourmet but that is a story for another day...
