Old Family Rituals

When Matilda was a little baby we used to go for a family walk each night in the summers. She loved (almost demanded) to get out for walks and Porter is the same. Usually when hungry/dirty diaper/tired is not the answer to his needs, he will stop fussing the minute we step out of our apartment for a stroll. This week we reinstated the family walk and tonight, much to Matilda's delight, she rode in the Ergo. She had walked the past evenings but tonight was tired and in need of some Mama time. M reiterated so many times how she's not too big for the Ergo lately and squealed with glee when I proposed a walk. Quite the change from her early days in the Ergo. I think my next challenge will be to get M with the Ergo in back & Porter on front in the Bjorn to see how far I make it! That should shed some pounds.
