We have been planning to go on a longer-than-usual car trip with the little one next month. We have not been doing such trip since he was 6 months because we dreaded the whole commotion and havoc that comes with it.
Remember the last trip to East Coast that we did, how we have to endure the long crying spell because he wanted to poop but he can’t because he was in a car..isk!
So this time as a more experienced parents, I have mentally prepared myself that a walking and active toddler would be more challenging to handle. And he has this bad habit of sitting on the car floor mat as well despite my effort to keep him in his car seat.
However he is past over the habit of picking things up on the car floor mats and eat them..Thanks God for that!
And do you know that there exists car floor mats like WeatherTech that come with a special non-stick surface to make it even easier for clean-up? The mats have deeply sculpted channels that trap liquids and spills in their place, allowing you to keep driving without having to panic…which is a plus bonus for parents of toddler who drinks and eats in a car..huhu!
What do you expect when you have a toddler? A lot of mess, everywhere,anywhere..most of the time!
a lot of mess? expected. but having a choleric malancholy father, my kids don’t get to enjoy that “privillage”. sometimes i think it’s good, but at times i pity them. what a loss!hehe.
