While it wasn't his first Sox game, it was his first visit to Fenway South for spring training. You know we couldn't let a trip to Florida pass by without a Red Sox game!
The whole week was full of new experiences, big crowds, and schedule changes for E. It was a lot to take in, and sensory overload for sure. We did our best to make sure he still had some sort of a schedule, and got enough sleep, but he was still overwhelmed at points.
Allow me to completely skip over our vacation for a minute, an answer the question that everyone really wants to know: How did we survive flying with a baby?
Not easily.
While it worked out pretty well, and I haven't ruled out flying in the future, it was something I spent a lot of time thinking about and planning for. I always find I handle situations better if I've run though every possibility ahead of time, so that when something does happen, I don't have to think. I just react. And I've got everything I could need at hand, so I can do it quickly.
