Well we survived our trip lol. DS is a great traveller in the car, sleeps like a log. First night away he had terrible sleep waking every 2hrs..... :S. He was incredibly upset Saturday while we tried a bit of shopping & just wouldn't settle at SIL's for my nephews party so we couldn't stay late & visit....bugger! We had some quiet time back at the motel & he had good feeds & only woke once during the night, so I think he is ok as long as he gets his afternoon feeds on time before he goes down for the night, problem is he will sleep through feeds if he's in the car lol.

Away I ended up taking more than I needed & did't need a play mat as we put some bunny rugs on the bed & let him stretch & play. He spent ages watching & talking to the split system ac on the wall :P.
