First Overnight Visit

Yesterday was our first trip with the kids where we were all staying overnight. This trip demonstrated why minivans are good vehicles for families with small children. Because we had the space, we brought the play yard & exersaucer for Jason. We could have gone without the exersaucer, but it entertains him (which makes moments easier for us) and when you have the room why not bring the things that will make your life easier?

We were staying with my Mom & she has a crib, so it was Sydney's last sleep in the crib at Nana's. We are making motions towards beds, so once the switch is made there will be no turning back. The one thing we did forget was the bath ring for Jason. My mom's tub is VERY slippery, but we put a towel in the bottom of the tub for Jason to sit on & eliminate the slip & he loved it. He was much more animated in the tub than he is at home during bath time so I think it is "bye bye" bath ring.

All in all it was a very successful trip. We had a nice visit & Jason cooperated by only waking once to be fed, so no one was subjected to his cries during the night.
