Last night young Max decided that 9.30 at night was the time to be wide awake and sitting down or being patted off to sleep was for wimps and staying up was what cool kids do. It was a one on one battle as Jo was already in bed.
After a hour and a half of all the usual tricks I had enough and was tired after working a night shift. I used all the tricks in my arsenal. I put Max in the car and we went for a drive with the heater on. Who can resist falling asleep when they have a very full tummy clean pants and warmth. I wanted to seal the deal before I ended up driving to Coffs Harbour with a screaming child. I put some Ben Lee on.
No 3 and half week old child can resist so much against them. So with 7 minutes of driving under our belt and no screaming being heard for 3-4 minutes I pulled over and Max was out for the count. He was captain floppy arms. Which meant he was out cold and we could return home!!
The bags are packed...

Dude, try the pram. It gets him off to sleep, gives you some exercise and is beeter for the environment.
It's why God invented the ipod.
