Agustin was not digging the road trip experience. He seems to have trouble sleeping in his carseat. Here we are pulled over on the side of a country road, and Adam is trying to calm him down.
I don't know if you can find it over there or get it shipped to you but we had a mirror sorta like this one: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=7171&e=product&pcat=precious_planet_all&pid=48069 that had lights and music on it. It operates from a remote control on the parents' visor. That would often calm Claire down on extended car trips (or Atlanta traffic when we were stateside) at least to get us to the next point where i could pull over and nurse. The other thing that worked was having someone sit in the back and hold something as dumb as a Dr. Pepper bottle at her feet...apparently Dr. Pepper is really intersting. Anyways, a couple of things that helped us as we journeyed on the "wrong side of the road" all over England in those early months. Can't wait for more pics!
