Travelling with cloth

Over the past 3 weeks we have done a lot of travelling. We've been to 3 airports on 4 air-planes and in a Toyota Highlander for over 48 hours.

Right before Christmas we went to Nashville for a week to visit friends. The cloth wanted to come, but due to travelling constraints and time constraints (I didn't get the g-diapers inserts in time) we decided to go disposable. We had a great time in Nashville and even saw ICE! if you ever get the chance to go to ICE! you should it is amazing.

After Christmas and before the big blizzard we started driving to Florida. The cloth and g-diapers came along for the really long ride. Little man did a great job the entire time. He never complained about the long trips, the long waits between rest stops, the inexplicable traffic going southbound 90 miles north of Savannah (even though his mommy did). He really enjoyed his new "TV", which is really a portable DVD player that a friend gave to him. It was definitely a life saver.

After Florida we came home with a loaded trailer of furniture and stuff to sort through...more about that later.

Two quick stories from the trip:

On the way home from Nashville we were boarding the plane, Southwest was our carrier so people sat closer to the front, and little man was concerned saying, "oh, no mommy they all filled up!". With some reassurance we found three seats together and enjoyed our flight to BWI. Once we had landed in Boston we told little man that we were home. He was quite excited and ran down the little hallway leading to the concourse and as we enter the concourse he threw his arms up in the air and yelled "I HERE!". Ladies and gentleman, Little Man has landed. We got a few chuckles and quickly made our way to baggage claim and home.


Prayer time at dinner has been an interesting learning experience. Little Man often starts his prayers thanking Jesus for the food and then looking to me for some more things to say. In Baltimore one night, he paused and I leaned over to give him some ideas and he whispered, "shh...mommy, I praying"...he then continued to say thank you for his family in a normal volume.
