It's just a basic MacLaren, but MF would nap in it happily so I could walk and/or browse the shops. And, believe it or not, if you time it right, he still does!! <br /><br />Of course once we switch to the stroller for 2 in the very near future, I don't think this is going to be ewe are herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339650361453626546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-56391561106956096642007-01-30T11:28:00.000-05:002007-01-30T11:28:00.000-05:00You guys are funny!

Truer words were never spoken.<br /><br />Everyone is always telling me how babies love strollers and it's like the magic baby soother, and clearly, it AIN'T -- thanks for backing up my suspicions on this.<br /><br />I'll wave without slowing down as we extreme-stroll Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812707312289852258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-5064324738241845792007-01-30T10:51:00.000-05:002007-01-30T10:51:00.000-05:00"Extreme strolling"!

Most (if not all) of the Boy's early naps were in the stroller, perfectly timed and without stops. My mom friends didn't quite understand that you couldn't stop and you had to go a certain speed, so the Boy and I ended up walking alone most of the timeRun ANChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088821030860597465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-34002628453066767552007-01-29T11:40:00.000-05:002007-01-29T11:40:00.000-05:00Like sleep, healthy, outdoor exercise, is one of t...Like sleep, healthy, outdoor exercise, is one of the key vexing issues for a new mom. I am so thrilled that Miss Baby is finally gaining a sense of the stroller's role in preserving a mother's sanity. Miss M was and still is pretty good in the stroller but she went for a 5 month stroller strike at around 5 months old. She wanted to sit up but she couldn't do so comfortably and she was no longer Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416585771017767796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-44683613348234823832007-01-28T10:17:00.000-05:002007-01-28T10:17:00.000-05:00I was a fiend about walking when Pumpkinpie was a ...I was a fiend about walking when Pumpkinpie was a young thing. We went out for a walk EVERY DAY, even in an insane blizzard once. It was my sanity. We'd walk for half and hour or an hour until she fell asleep and I could nip into the coffee shop and - oh, bliss of bliss - read with a coffee for half an hour. She got to know all the Second Cup regulars well, so we'd hang for a bit until she neededkittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33659348.post-2587796505602758352007-01-28T09:58:00.000-05:002007-01-28T09:58:00.000-05:00Hahaha.

I'm so cracking up over that first photo of poor, overbundled Miss Baby. <br />And meanwhile, two of my three acted like we were setting them on fire if we dared put them anywhere near their stroller AND my small rural town doesn't believe in clearing the sidewalks, so we're currently indoors.

Or "The light's in her eyes." NO, NO, NO. She just hates the stroller...but right now, she doesn't have a choice but to be in it.<br /><br />I remember one day, walking through the park with her hollering away, when I saw another mother approaching me withNotSoSagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04782162947524115936noreply@blogger.com
