Traveling With Your Toddler

Traveling by car with a two-year-old in the throes of the terrible twos not be so ... terrible!

On a recent trip from Atlanta to Chicago with my husband, daughter-in-law, Leah and a half years old Ava our new games, changing a favorite book rhyme and played a lot to do.

The first game started with a set of two spoons demitasse Ava found in the backseat. The spoons were a shower and was immediately pleased to present its first road trip. When shewanted a snack, but it was time to eat, we did not play. do We stirred up a big pot of "Fruit Soup" and drew all giving a bowl. Then with a spoon, we alternately tasting the soup and asked what we ate. "Ohhh, it's a banana. What color are bananas?" "Mmmmm. I have some watermelon. It's red!" It was great fun and helped Ava practice, learning about color.

One of the favorite books Ava Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle We. Changed the words a little tooTightening our trip. "Grandpa, Grandpa, what do you see?" I see a white truck looked at me. " The first time she had Ava's turn, she was a funny but accurate answer. "Ava, Ava, what you see?" "I see Grandma looked at me!" Another favorite book is Five Little Monkeys. It's a great little rhythmic rhyme and adding actions to go with the words, it is even more fun. The repetition makes it easy to remember.

We sang songs together, such as Bingo, Old MacDonald, "You Are My Sunshineand Amazing Grace. Leah taught us all a merry song "Little Bunny Foo Foo." The actual songs are not important, as much as the process of doing it together. Each family favorites will be done.

If the chatter threatened to cause sensory overload, we played all the "Nap." Ava tries to get by all means to deal again. I must admit, I was the one that collapsed early. But it could be the end for a long siesta. During the stops for meals and gas, which we brought a ball and playedcatching the football and be diverted into pent-up energy. We had a box containing several small packets craisins and pretzels for emergency hunger pains, could not be appeased with "Fruit Soup." The snacks and games as incentives for cooperation and the peaceful times. It turned out that one of my favorite car travel in recent memory. Two last quick tips: Do you use a car shade or towel up when the sun comes through the window. And a travel size neck pillow helps sleep in the carSeat more comfortable. Happy driving to your next baby adventure!
