I took my first solo car trip with Maddie today. This probably doesn't sound like a big deal to you surburban folk, but I don't drive that often. In fact, I can't remember the last time I drove the car -- it got tough getting behind the wheel when I was hugely pregnant. For the most part I get around by foot or subway. Maddie actually likes the subway quite a bit. I usually take her in the sling, because it's easier than lugging the stroller up and down the stairs. But in either case she just falls asleep, although sometimes she looks around for awhile.
