Longest day of commuting for little K

I'm thrilled. K and I had our biggest ride yet today, in three parts. She coped with a three rides, interspersed with an ABA meeting, three hours of work at the bike shop and a trip to the shops for ingredients for an orange cake. And she didn't complain once about being on the bike!

The last few rides we've done she's had a little hanging toy fish to play with, which I think has made a difference to her happiness on the bike. It used to be that she would generally cry if she wasn't asleep or sleepy, and there was one horrible trip to CERES when K was about 13 weeks old, and she cried the whole way, despite heaps of breastfeeds and being all warmly wrapped up. It was quite demoralising and made me wonder if we'd made a terrible mistake buying a cargobike!

The last two weeks have been far more successful. Funny how babies change so quickly and what is hated one day is loved the next.
