Just took our gianormous double *new* pram for a walk to the shops. It helps not having a vehicle in regards to HAVING to walk. But trully I have only done it twice. Once to buy it once today.
I have my runner-child with a back pack and lead tied to the pram. It is like controlling a small disobedient untrained pup. I think we need to work on that. But twice now, she has been saved from being hit by something large and moving and I'm not talking about myself.
The oldest lags behind in his noisy riding books "clip clop clip clop" so I had him holding that ridiculous (& yes I DO believe they are ridiculous) strap that is now compulsory on all prams. It kept him walking close and not 50metres behind me.
My little back seater did NOT want to get into the pram but somehow the older children got him in and strapped without killing him. It did sound like he got close. Fortunately if he doesn't want to sit in the 2nd child can go in there.
I was a bit excited that it started to rain. It meant I had to pull the rain cover out and put it on, test it out. Not a single drop of rain landed on us but that's okay.
Plans: To use the new vehicle to get us down town & me as skinny as child number 2. Okay so the second part wont happen but I figure it is worth a shot.
On another note I am now putting child number 2 back into nappies at night time at age 3 1/2 because it is less work then having to change sheets daily & less of a nightmare for me to get peed on. Seriously.
Afterwards, cleaning and tidying, preparing meals and maybe even a nap.
Some days there just is not enough hours in it for me.
Hoping you have a good one.
