travelling with a toddler

it looks like a BOMB went off in my hotel room! despite my best efforts, my room is a complete disaster. our already tiny room is crammed with a playpen and a stroller. our huge suitcase is on the floor and our overflowing garbage can is sitting on the desk b/c s pulled my starbucks cup out of it yesterday and tried to drink out of it. s put j's shoes in the bathroom and mine in a drawer. complete chaos.

s has her other front tooth now! she seemed to handle it alright, however we've had a few temper tantrums that can be most likely attributed to teething. although many of the tantrums are a result of s asserting her independence.....pushing her stroller as opposed to riding in it is a perfect example. if only she could walk in the right direction. so inevitably i scoop her up. i'm not sure what people think when i carry her down the street with her screaming her face off, one arm threaded through her legs so i can get a good hold on her. i swear all these babies i see happily riding in their strollers must be sedated.

off to london today. got a 5-hour train ride from edinburgh to catch. can't wait to walk up and down the isles with s!

All in all, you seem to be having a good time.
Looks like you were awarded "Miss Independence" with the arrival of Sloan....tehe.
seems she is into re-decorating big time lolol
She sounds perfectly normal to me, just exploring everything, and no matter what when she gets into a mind set, there is no turning her back! :)
Be well & Enjoy the visit all.
