16 17 18 19 20 21 [Next] - To help our kids remember their trip in their own words we buy postcards of the places we go and on the back of each one they write down whatever they want to remember. At the end of the trip we punch a hole in the corner of the postcards and put them on a ring so they have their own special mementos of the vacation. Elizabeth Mays ID940 - Everybody knows you can rent strollers and carseats at your destination - these days you can even rent a babysitter at many hotels - but did you know that you can now ship baby consumables to your destination? I've heard of shipping your luggage (very costly), but this is the first site I know of that will ship baby and toddler essentials to your travel destination. No more lugging a suitcase full of diapers and formula and baby food through the airport. No more arriving stressed and tired at your hotel, and immediately going searching for a grocery store! This service works great, whether you're staying at a hotel, condo, resort, or with gramma. :) JetSetBabies.com JetSetBabies.com ID1454 - While preparing our 2 1/2-year-old daughter for her first airplane trip, we were concerned about the noise of the plane, since she was terrified of loud noises such as the vacuum cleaner, hairdryer, mixer, etc. We made frequent stops by our local airport (1-2 X weekly) to acquaint her with the noise of the airplanes. At first she was scared, but soon she warmed up to the idea and would just grin while holding her ears. This worked like a charm. She did not exhibit any uneasiness on the entire trip, and she still wants to go to the airport and watch the planes. Mindy Van Pelt ID915 - When they get up in the a.m. before the trip, make their first food/drink of the day, a small bit of milk, (like 1/3 - 1/2 cup) The protein will 'win the race' as the chemical which reaches the brain first. This stimulates a natural 'up' and sharpness as opposed to a day of sluggishness. It will last through mid day 'fueling time' when children typically are tired. Most important part is to prevent your child from eating or drinking anything else (especially sugars or starches), for at least 10 minutes after their milk/protien. The chemicals that are produced by starches, for example, get to the brain prior to the protein, and the milk will not do anyone much good! Laugh, smile, hug a lot (best tip). MentalJokes.com MentalJokes.com ID417 - Fill the trash can up with ice and it becomes like a little fridge where you can store milk for little kids.
