Savvy Toddler Mom

ALSO, I meant to mention again that I love Costco.  I bought a tent there last summer and finally used it the weekend after Mother’s Day THIS year.  It was probably the worst tent I have ever tried to sleep in.  It was HUGE, so I think it had some structural issues from being so large and kept collapsing under any hint of wind.  UGH.

So, a couple of days ago, I marched it down to the Bountiful Costco (still sandy and with a torn up box and everything) and returned it.  Just like that.  Gotta love Costco.

Then I bought another one — different manufacturer.  I’ll let you know next year how that one does.  I don’t think I’ll be camping with a 2 1/2 year old again this summer.  He didn’t sleep and neither did his dad or me.  UGH again.

No tricks and tips here on camping with toddlers.  Anyone else?  The toot was too excited about the wilderness to bother eating or sleeping.  Result: tired, hungry, cranky toddler and two tired, even crankier adults.  It was a two-night trip that ended after just the one night.
