Sophie went for her first holiday to KL last week (26-29 May 2010). We drove up to Malaysia and stayed at my colleague's place for 4 days. The journey there was good as Sophie was suprising quiet for the start of the trip and only started to get restless after we took a short break after 3 hours of being in the car
Being constantly in the car means that she was easily put to sleep by the vibration and constant white background sound from the car and she took a long 1 and a half hours nap.
The good thing about staying in my colleague's place, was that we had an extra pair of hands and eyes to keep an eye on the little monkey who's gotten very active and talkative recently.
No doubt traveling with her is more tiring than I expected but I know that this will get better when she grows older, can walk or even run around on her own, eat the same food as me. After all I managed to go shopping while she's asleep in her pram, enjoyed a nice massage, went swimming and even had some local food and have some 二人世界 with the hubby.
did she like being in the car seat?
ReplyDeletemy baby refuses to sit in it :/
Nadine, I doubt any baby will like it. But just gotta train them to sit in it for their own safty. I will put toys, books, etc for her to play and keep her distracted. But on a 4 plus hours drive, I did take her out once in a while to stretch her legs.
