Keeghan’s all ready for the March. (two days after his birthday. Or, a mere 6 weeks from now, if you’ve lost track.)
Total mileage today: 2.37
And he has a new favorite finger food- barley cooked with fruit- and a new word- “see.” They really do grow up in the blink of an eye…
A certain person was working on a perfectly good stroller nap until it was rudely interrupted by the wind.
At least there were Os.
Total mileage: 2.75
Total mileage: 3.48 miles
Thank you, Miss Mary, for bringing me a playmate who’s not a picture on the side of the diaper box.
I told Ian we were going to go “exploring” at the garden, so he was already excited. Then, we got there and he saw his friend.
“SOPHIE!” he cried.
“IAN!” she shouted.
And the two of them ran across the open field to each other and flung their arms around one another like the ending to a sappy rom-com.
Total Mileage: 1.11 very picturesque miles.
Total miles today: 2.88
We got a good walk in while we waited for Brudder to finish at school.
I couldn’t do justice to these flowers with a photo. In the sun, they were luminous. They almost seemed like I was seeing something not ordinarily visible to the eye.
Total mileage: 2.5 sunny, breezy miles in the park.
Walk time rolled around, and Ian informed me that “today is my ‘no walk’ day.” So I loaded the Bitty Man (not so bitty these days) into his jogging stroller. He laughed, banged the tray, and jumped up and down in his seat in excitement. And we were off.
On mild evenings like this one, my neighbors take to the outdoors. Kids ride bikes and play basketball. Folks wash cars, clean out garages, and enjoy their porch swings. In a month or so the evenings will be muggy and the Mosquitos will be a plague of biblical proportions, but on nights like this one you could go door to door and visit with the neighbors. Ignore the late model car, and find yourself transported to a slower time, when we had Block Parties and Facebook hasn’t happened yet.
Tonight we logged 2.68 timeless miles.
The only thing left to know is… Why must the gnomes prostrate themselves about the well?
I will spare you the boring saga of how we ended up taking our walk in the noonday sun. But I will divulge that, because Keeghan is an exceptional baby, he obliged by going to sleep almost immediately and staying that way for over two miles.
Total mileage: 2.5 totally worth it albeit hours delayed miles!
My kids are good walkers, but, like anyone, they need to be properly motivated.
As long as there are Os, Mommy.
Well, since there’s a construction site…
Mileage: 2.36, sunscreen required!
Now, how cool is this?
She must have gotten a pingback from my post and took the time to encourage me. Now THAT’S motivation, right?
