Even if she's not yet capable of forming lasting memories, these experiences are forming who she is. We want the first international flight she remembers into adulthood to feel like a familiar thing in the moment. Plus she's such a delight that experiencing new things with her and sharing her with the world is a source of deep joy for us.
