HOW TO ENTERTAIN A 1 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR....
We took our fourth trip to NC since little Nico was born and I learned one thing, well maybe two...you will do anything to entertain a 1 year old and he has taken over control!!! OK, as with my previous post I guess the second part we already knew but he made sure we reaffirmed it on our trip!
It started out very nice he was talking, well baby talking in his LOUD voice and we were enjoying the trip until, ok believe it or not after a couple of hours he wanted out and he wanted out NOW!!! Of course being the responsible parents we are that wasn't plausible sooo....he comes the I would do anything to entertain a 1 year old.....so we made funny faces, sang songs I would NEVER want anyone to hear me sing, eat gold fish and more gold fish, stopped for Burger King because we have to have Chicken and FF again!!! I know, I know it's the worse thing that you can feed your kid and Bryan says he is going to hate Chicken one day but when your desperate for him to feed himself, it's Chicken and FF AGAIN!!!!!
I look back now and realize that he was a really good boy, but if anyone saw the faces I made or the songs I sang they would look at me and think.....man she has lost it, and maybe I have but it made our trip so much more pleasant and along with enjoying our week at Grandma's we had a a fun trip home, which one day I am sure he will never remember but if he does he'll think man my Mom is a dork!!!
Happy Weekend!!!

Kelly,
Sounds like you had a fun trip. Traveling with a toddler turns any trip into an adventure. You just never know what's going to happen, or what you'll end up doing. We've stopped to change diapers on the side of the turnpike, stopped to nurse a baby at many random little gas station parking lots, and eaten at most every rest stop along the way to my sister's house in Bowling Green. Now I know why we never went on a long road trip when I was little!!
