holy stroller


so i have been walking/hiking/cross country skiing, with eliana attached to my chest since she was born. and while i adore it, homegirl is putting on some lbs and it isn't exactly easy anymore. yesterday while hiking up the "L", i slipped on some ice and fell. it was fine, but it could've been bad. a fall with thirteen plus pounds of love attached to your chest isn't good for me and isn't good for her. so today after i came home to a dog who needed to be walked and a baby who needed a nap, a broke out the ol' stroller. i bought this kickin thing for her carseat, this sheapskin bag thingie that she loves to hang out in. well turns out, she also loves to hang in it while rolling along town. so i got her bundled up, stuck her in the bag, grabbed the dog, and head downtown to get some things done. within ten minutes wonderbaby was sleeping, the dog and i got some exercise and i managed to deposit the checks that have been burning a hole in my purse for the past month and even buy some stamps! while life can feel busy and hectic, actually pushing my baby instead of carrying her made my load feel a whole lot lighter!

I'm going to folow in your footsteps Gil and get out the stroller, bundle up Eliana and hit the strip for some Christmas shopping. For sure we will have some fun. Love, Roseann
