Travel with smalls

Well we got here in (relatively) good shape. We had to wake Atti early to make our flight, and thankfully the iPad lasted the flight and so he was fine. He made a little friend at the end of the flight, and they became quite hard to separate actually.

He slept most the drive down to my parents, but it still meant he only had 45 minutes nap time.

He slept in a bed for the first time (well his own bed anyway) last night, and it went pretty well. Except for the hour of me putting him back in his bed every time he came out of the room. I suspect I will be doing a lot of that.

Sleep in general is not fantastic. He has been sleeping badly for a few nights, add to that being woken up early, a tiny nap and a later-than-normal bedtime - and then he woke up early too. So he has been a bit hyper and hard to handle today. Which is what you want when parenting with your parents right there, isn't it?

But he had a decent nap today (after being taken back to bed a few times - this is going to drive me nuts, isn't it?) and I plan to get him to bed on time tonight. And tomorrow we have a soccer class booked, and he has made one little friend on the street. So it's going well so far.

And the pool was a big hit today, with his vest on he is fine in the pool. Daily swimming should help him get a lot further with his lessons.

Also, tomorrow he will finally get to see his cousins.
