This week we decided to take our first trip with the boys. We went to Greensboro to see my neice, Ellie, turn 4 years old. It is only about an hour and a half away, but the logistics for being away that long were kind of difficult. And, we had to time the trip just right so that we weren't on the road in the middle of when the boys would be hungry.
Well, even with all of the planning we did, some times our boys have other plans... Cooper decided he was going to go through a growth spurt this weekend. So, the times that he ate were WAY off. We ended up having to stop by the side of the road and feed him on the way home Saturday. That was the first time we ever had to pull over on the highway. Looking back at things, we probably could have just waited until the next exit and fed him in a parking lot. But, when we were in the moment, we were just trying to figure out why our boy was screaming non-stop in the back seat.
So, now we know...It doesn't matter what time it is...The boys eat before we leave anywhere. That was a little crazy, but a great learning experience!
Been there, done that stop on the side of the road. Anything to make the crying STOP!!! :) You guys are doing great!
