Thank you! You have been a great help! The traveling thread was very informative....and nice to know that I have been on the right track so far. I spend more time packing for Mia than I do for myself--or my 8 year old! It is like having a newborn again!
I guess the only thing left to do is get an appropriate car seat that she will like.
So far, I haven't had to worry about children too young. My youngest is 8 and she is learning how to be very careful with her. At my sister-in-law's there will be a 7 year old girl, but other than that, no little ones. (I took Mia to my husband's work because the secretary wanted to see her, and SHE almost dropped her when Mia tried to jump out of her arms! It is not only the little ones you have to worry about! I hover around her like a mother hen!)
Well, off to finish packing. Hope this goes well!
