So I traded in yesterday's scheduled 3 mile run for a 4 mile walk. I also traded in Zoe for a much lighter trainer, little Andres, a friend's son who I watch on Tuesdays. He was much less vocal, so instead of taunting my speed, all I got from him was the occasional 'uht oh' whenever he saw a blown over trash can.
There is no better inspiration to get out with the stroller than having the alternative being trying to entertain 2 kids under 2, one of which is on a nap-strike for the day. So despite some pretty gusty winds and about 20 minutes of walk-prep coordination, off we went.
I don't think that in my adult life I will ever know any sensation as comfy and relaxing as being pushed around in a stroller on a early spring day while being tucked in with a big cozy blanket. Kids really have it made.
The first stop was the Sunset Hill lookout which was especially lovely and peaceful since that is the point where Sam decided to finally fall asleep. It was unfortunately also the point when I realized that this was going to be a loooong walk since it had only been 12 minutes and I had 75 minutes to kill and a full bladder. I decided to pass the time by swinging by to pick up Jackson. Unfortunately all his potty stops just added insult to injury so he got dropped back off at home where I did a few very tempting glances between the bathroom 5 feet away and the two kids in the stroller on the sidewalk. Of course the kids won out....barely.
It's not very often that I'm jealous of kid's diapers, but this was one of those occasions.
Like I said - kids really have it made.
