Sensible. :-) I timed going to my folks' (a two hour drive) so it would almost always coincide with her nap times. I never took her places that would put her too far outside her comfort zone until she was old enough to start handling frustration better. Toddlers have so much that frustrates them on a good day, I didn't see any reason to add to it just because I wanted to do something. I slowly eased her into more and more "unusual" situations and never had those kinds of screaming fits to deal with. I'd taught her young that I'd never ask her to do anything that was beyond her, so when I started asking her to do things that made her stretch, she just stretched.
