Travel...
I have to say a lot of our life this last year hasn't been so much about adventure outside the house, it's been about the big, life changing adventure of life (inside the house) with a baby. But now we are getting ready to take the next step, to go out into the world with this baby. I'm terrified. I shouldn't be, but I am.
We have 2 trips coming up. A weekend driving adventure and then a long week, 4 hours by plane adventure. I am actually dreading the car trip more. The plane there are people (which he loves) and we can pay attention to him, let him walk a little, distract him with treats and toys. The car he faces the back of the car and he's strapped in .. for 4 hours. The horror... the horror. It's the trial run. It might be scary, but I'm glad we have it. We'll get an idea on the things we need to bring and things we don't need to bring along with us on the plane. Will he be OK sleeping in new places. Will we figure out the important parts of our routines? What can slide, what can not. Hopefully this will all make the longer trip go a lot smoother.
I know I can't plan everything, but I am trying to be as prepared as I can. I want to streamline so we aren't bringing unnecessary things, but also have the important things so we're not buying all those things we forgot.
The research has started
