S and I went to visit my family in August. The trip normally takes 6 hours but at that time S would cry in the car if she wasn’t asleep. And when I say cry I mean cry. She would get so upset she would be gasping for breath. As you can image it was very distracting. On the trip down, I make it to Kingston and considered turning back. But I really wanted to go so I came up with a strategy. I would walk her around in the carrier until she was ready to go back to sleep. It worked very well. We only stopped twice for about 1.5 hours each time. It was really hard to travel with her by myself. I had to take her everywhere including the rest stop bathroom but she loved the adventure.
These are two pictures from the trip. The one in the pink sleeper was her expression after I put her in the car seat for the last time. She was ready for the trip to be over and so was I.
