I guessing not. ;)<BR/><BR/>I haven't done a train trip with kids, but I have done a few car trips. Our favorite travel toy is the aquadoodle mini-books (Target has them). All you need is a little water in that pen and the little one's have so much fun coloring in all the pages. No mess or lots of crayons to try to keep track of.<BR/><BR/>And of course, snacks. Love the comment above about new books. And little toys... good luck, I bet it will be easier than you think!Marketing Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092466674384204546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-47221349245686898582008-09-06T14:10:00.000-05:002008-09-06T14:10:00.000-05:00Excellent planning on the roomette.

She'll be able to do a lot more wiggling than on, oh, say, a 6 hr transatlantic flight! <BR/><BR/>Small new-to-her toys and books that are wrapped might help. I remember bringing those with for Pumpkin, but she might have been a bit older. Don't forget a few old favorites though. If there are toys (small car? blocks?) that she can play with on the floor, that's a bonus. Also, books that do things (flaps, touch & feel, wheel to turn) hold attention longer than standard ones. Crayons & paper if she doesn't try to eat them (Penguin still thinks they might be tasty. Looking out the window might also be oodles of fun. <BR/><BR/>Remember snacks and beverages, a cozy blankie, and a book for you if you're lucky enough to have her settle down/nap for a while... but don't count on getting to read it! :)<BR/><BR/>Also, definitely have a change of clothes (or at the least for yourself a shirt) handy (like at the top of the suitcase or in a diaper bag) for you both.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck! Let us know what was good in Chicago 'cuz it's close enough that might be an "away trip" for us someday!Ms. Huis Herselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965333243525156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906209974269076373.post-73267422848856864382008-09-06T12:08:00.000-05:002008-09-06T12:08:00.000-05:00Well, I can tell you not to use Benadryl on her, h...Well, I can tell you not to use Benadryl on her, hoping it'll knock her out. Most kids usually end up hyper instead, including mine. <BR/><BR/>Bring lots of quiet activities - books, coloring, etc. Or haul out a portable DVD player if it works for her.<BR/><BR/>Good luck! Wish we were going to Chicago and could meet up with you.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345875955750219033noreply@blogger.com
