Stroller Fun?

We received a great stroller at our baby shower and now it sits. It sits in the hallway by the door. It sits and collects all the junk that we come in the door with. It sits because T-baby refuses to get in. She prefers to walk over ride in the stroller. (And lately, she prefers to walk un-aided by either mom or dad!)

But true to form, T-baby just decided yesterday that the stroller had sat long enough. She wanted to get in. She wanted to go for a walk. So walk we did. When we returned to the house she didn't want to get out of the stroller. So in the stroller she sat. In the hallway by the door. She sat for almost twenty minutes, unwilling to get out. She sat until dada gave in and took her back out for a ride.






Unfortunately, not too long after T-baby decided it was fun to ride IN the stroller, dada let her get out and push the stroller. Now T-baby must get out and push. She must push the stroller. Riding no longer satisfies her.

It was a short lived fantasy of long walks on summer evenings, regaining trips to the mall, and maybe visiting someplace, any place, for longer than 30 minutes! But we won't give up. We will let the stroller sit. Sit in the hallway by the door. And one day we will try again.
