Flew out to DXB a few days ago in CW, and while my little one slept on top of me for 4 of the 7 hour flight, I eventually had to move a tad...and woke her.
Naturally she stirred, was unhappy for about 3 loud minutes, and then didnt want to go back to sleep.
So, instead of her crying out when we suggested it was bedtime, she played with the seat and IFE buttons, sang, giggled, and had a jolly lovely time.
We were in the last row of CW, so out the way, and did our best to keep her quiet so other pax could sleep.
About an hour out of DXB, the passenger in 14A peered his head over my seat. I thought he would complain, but instead he started singing 'Old MacDonald had a farm' and my daughter, with all of her energy, screamed in delight 'E I E I OOOOO'.
Whoever you were 14A, thank you for being human! I hope those in F, on the way back, are as understanding!
