Girls Solo Trip - out and about

The girls have been bugging me to take their lil brother out for a walk.  We got the stroller out (here is my caveat - I do not believe in strollers.  I actually hate them.  The baby is so much happier near you, being held by you, hearing your heart beat and smelling you.  Flame away) that was generously given to us by a dear friend. 

It's an Uppa stroller - the cadillac of strollers as I understand.  To me it looks like a Pram - and somehow a Pram is much better than a stroller. 

I had nursed him asleep and he was bundled up and set.  The girls wanted to walk around the block, as if they were "Babysitting" with mama out of the picture. 

I took a deep breath, instructed them to stay on the sidewalk, no crossing streets, no crazy speeds and avoidance of bumps.

I also made the swear they would get along AND carry their cell phones. 

I wish I could say my girls got along, apparently there was a power struggle on who would push and who would wave.....

But in the end - they had a blast wheeling Kiwi around in the Pram and gave mom a few minutes of silence.

Oddly - I felt out of place without my lil man.  Upon their return, despite the fact he was still snoozing, I scooped him up to snuggle with till he woke for his next feeding.

Life does not get better than this........
