Random Photo Tuesday #5

This one was taken last week on the first day of spring. I always insist on taking Alyssa's stroller whenever we walk somewhere -- just in case. Scott always tells me to leave it home.

"She can walk," says the guy who hasn't walked anywhere with Alyssa on a timeline and noticed her need to stop to closely examine anything even remotely interesting, to bark back at any dogs who dare to bark at her, to scale every short wall and walk it like a tight-rope. To throw herself on the ground and demand to be carried.

BUT it was the first day of spring and it was a beautiful day and a short walk to school and we were running early to pick up Amanda AND Alyssa asked ever so sweetly if she could take her baby stroller. So I said, "Sure, why not?"

And that's how I ended up lugging a baby, a baby stroller, a sippy cup and and a backpack that Amanda couldn't possibly carry because it was, "sooooooo heavy and the walk home is sooooooo long!"

And that is why I always insist on taking Alyssa's stroller whenever we walk somewhere -- just in case.
