Of note, I did my training in a (slow) C152, but moved up to a fuel-
injected C172 after getting my license.

Any tips to ease the flight? Good tips for fuel consumption savings?

Fly high and read up on the best mixture-leaning practice for that
powerplant. As for easing the flight, a handheld GPS is a great secondary
tool for double-checking your progress and calculations. Plus, it gives
your passenger something to play with.

Tips for taming my 2-year old for the flight?

Oh, man. Can't help you there! Too young for "Do you want to get out
and walk?!" to be effective.
