Trophies

Last night Nadia slept about 7 hours total which meant only 6 for me since I went to bed at 9pm. Since she was up for good after 4am (we both tried a few times to get her back to sleep), I decided to go to the 8:00 service. She slept through most of the service thankfully. We returned the swing we borrowed since she didn't seem to like it very much. Donna gave us more boxes. Thanks, Donna! Paul and I did a little packing. I decided to toss all my childhood trophies. Most of them were from the early 80's from school. Paul was amused by my bowling trophy as he doesn't view me as athletic. He's a much better bowler than I am! I've moved these trophies 3 times in the last 12 years, and they've stayed in the basement all those years. I decided not to move them a fourth time. Only 16 days til we move - yikes!!

There are 2 times when Nadia might have been in the car for trips that exceed 2 hours one way. I have a grant mtg in Shippensburg on the 15th, and we were planning to attend a wedding in Philly on the 20th. Since Nadia doesn't fare too well in her car seat, I've decided just Paul will attend the wedding, and I'm trying to find a babysitter for Nadia for the 15th although it will be hard to be separated from her for 9 hours!!!! Grandma can't do it as she has scans at the hospital that day to see if the chemo worked.

I hear ya about traveling long distance in the car with a baby.

Kylie hated, hated the carseat. I couldn't even pull out of the driveway without her screeching.

It was horrible, but then my MIL found something made by Fisher Price. It's made out of cloth and it attaches to the car seat. It plays different music, lights up, and has little flaps for the baby to play with. Best of all, it comes with a remote control so you can turn it off and on while you're driving. It was $20. Kylie loved it, and stopped crying.

They don't make the exact one I had (4 years ago) but here's a link to a very similar one, also made by Fisher Price:
