Packing

Some of you were curious so, for the two of us and Violet we had a day backpack, soft suitcase, and a roller. We did laundry once and bought diapers and wipes once (yeah no cloth on the go). We practice packed the week before and laid everything out. I didn't worry about a pump, we used the ergo non stop, and even had toys, books and blankets with us. We had an emergency/first aid kit in the carry on with Tylenol and teething gel, we had ear plugs, head phones, snacks, even a change of clothes for all of us in the carry ons. We brought Vi's soap, laundry soap and sunscreen because there are some things I didn't want to chance. She needed her sun hat more than stocking cap. It was warmer than expected so she went sockless, but didn't get to use her swim suit. She loved seeing the other babies on the plane. And little old ladies loved her! All 3 times we went through security were easier than expected and they opened new lines for us. We skipped a restroom line and used it for free at the leaning tower because of her. She was a trooper on the up and downs and ate when I thought it would help her, even sleeping through one landing.
