<div>On the subject of kids clothes, don't forget that layering is warmer than wrapped in a blanket. It will also help cushion them from the ever present 'Can I have a turn holding the baby?' Many people forget that our little ones get sore too.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When you are planning the activities you want to attend, remember the little one's schedule. He (for Benn)/She (for Mary) will simply not understand that you can't feed them until AFTER that spinning/brewing/autocratting 101/{insert class name here} class is over...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Carry extras of all necessities. If you think you are only going to be out of camp for the duration of 3 diapers, take 6. You never really know when the 'urge to venture off schedule' is going to hit. Also, remember (for those of you first timers to Gulf) that this is also your baby's first time to gulf. They are going to tire more easily because there is SO MUCH TO SEE and the sounds, smells, and such are all different too. Try to set a place in your tent that is as 'normal' as the little one is used to. This will give them a place where they can 'unwind' if they get too overwhelmed with all the 'new'.</div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">We took Terick for the first time just after his first birthday and had a good time. Adeana mentioned a wagon and I highly second that one. You may not want to put a really little one in the wagon, but if all your things are in the wagon and you just have to carry the baby it is much easier. This was the event that inspired me to buy my back pack basket and I love it. You can get one from the basket guy at Gulf War and they are worth every penny. He will help you choose a size that works with your frame and show you how to wear it comfortably. I also loved my sling. Terick slept through many courts and classes in a sling.</font></div>

You can buy modern harnasses very inexpensivly or make something that will look very period. I am happy to show the one I have now to anyone who wants to examine it. Mistress Alex made it for Thyge and Maurode's girls and it is very effective. Please excuse the spellings of the names there too. :)</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">For that matter, please excuse the spelling errors that might appear all together. My computer crashed a couple of months ago and I am using an antique laptop that just randomly locks up sometimes and has no spell checker. It is a little frustrating to use, :) and has been keeping me from writing much.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">About clothes for little ones. I love it when a little one is all dressed up in fancy garb. It is adorable! So if you want to go that way I think that is great. I have some more practical thoughts on kids clothes too. You are going to get a variety of weather at Gulf War so you will want to be prepared. I would recomend regular clothes on the bottom layer for warmth if necesary. Then top it with tunics and taberds. The easiest is to make one of the basic rectangles with a neck whole, and then make ties on the side to keep it on. I find that a v-neck works best to get it over their heads without an oversized opening.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Be sure to keep an extra pair of shoes and socks in a sealed plastic bag. If you get a lot of wet weather your shoes may not dry between wearings. Children who are warm and dry make much better companions. :) </font></div>
