My first trip out with Leon on my own! Yep, drove to Waitrose car park with him well fed and changed. Then transferred him into a papoose for a walk to Boots. He didn't like being disturbed and moaned quite a bit. I was worried I'd caught his leg or had strapped him in wrong, but he quietened down as soon as I started walking. So Boots was easy.
Then back to the car and into the car seat again for a trip round waitrose. Again, he didn't like being disturbed, and actually cried a bit even after I started pushing him round the store. He just wanted a bit of a hug - I've found that putting him down then doing a little circle on his chest quietens him down.
Then, as long as I kept the trolly moving, he was fine, just dozing. Now I know why you see people rocking their prams back and forth... though it's a bit more work doing it with a laden shopping trolly I'll tell ya.
Trip home was uneventful and infact he slept until C fed him. He's just being changed now, then we're off to Cambridge again (Mothercare)... only ooooh 3h later than we'd planned!
PS C says she was fine while he was gone, but it's the first time he's been not by her side, apart from a short trip round the block with my parents in the pushchair. I think it must have been nerves - she's cleaned the whole house!
