As I type this post, Andrew and I are literally just sitting around waiting for Brayden to wake up from his morning nap. The car is packed and we're eager to hit the road. We're heading to our friend's cottage for an extended weekend! This will be an especially fun cottage experience because Brayden will be joined by two of his favourite baby girlfriends, Madelyn and Kate.
It is impossible to travel light these days. We started packing everything up earlier this morning and two hours later, I think we finally have it all covered. we're only going to be away for four days (3 nights) but the amount of stuff a baby needs is astonishing. Here's a look at our "must take" list along with a photo of our packed car.
For B's entertainment:
Exersaucer
Outdoor play mat
Sun umbrella
Toys, toys and more toys
Swim trunks
Little swimmers (diapers)
For meal time:
Bumbo
Feeding bibs
Spoon, dishes and cups
Baby food (we bought organic baby food instead of transporting frozen, homemade meals)
Cereals
For bed time:
Baby shampoo
Brush
4 Towels
4 Sleepers
Pack & play
Quilt
Favourite stuffed animals
Baby monitor
Misc.
30 diapers
Box of wipes
Sunscreen (SPF 50)
Sun hats
Bibs
Spit clothes
4 outfits plus a couple extra
Life jacket
And of course, the camera! (Not to mention Andrew's and my bag and the all the food.)
Hahaha I LOVE!!! Looks like our car the first time we took Caden to the cottage (at that time to the garage). It never seems to amaze me how much they need however it does get better. Caden now packs his toys :) And the large items we're already through bringing...other then the playpen of course!
