Travel woes

When our toddler was just a baby, I probably complained about how much more work it was to go anywhere: we had to make sure enough diapers were washed (and dry!), pack several changes of clothes for the baby (and us since he tended to get our clothes dirty too!), remember all of the baby food supplies, breast pump supplies, boppy, blankets, toys and miscellaneous crap that goes with the modern American baby.

Now our boy is a toddler and we STILL have to pack like that (minus the breast pump supplies and plus more of the food items), however he is a biped now and quite quick and clever. Knowing he will get into everything, all of the packed items are put neatly on the couch, which he can't quite get onto yet, but he's still able to pull several bags down and unpack them as fast as we are able to pack them. So, a morning of packing ends up being a morning of packing and re-packing and re-packing. I hope parents of babies can read this and appreciate how much easier it is to pack ALL of that baby crap ONLY ONCE. Yes, the caps were necessary there.
