The stroller AGAIN???!!!

Boys taking a walk around the Baby House.

This is one of our common walks around the baby house. Both boys enjoy pushing along with the stroller. I don’t know why I love this so much but it almost seems choreographed or something. A couple of days ago we were over in the bigger play area and we brought the guitar with us. There are two Italian couples in the process with boys as well but they are a couple years older than our boys. The kids did not know our boys so it was an interesting lesson of how they might act around strangers in our presence. They were very quiet and stayed very close almost leaning on me. They listened as Greg played some soft tunes. We came out there because the Italian couple had asked if we would play in the garden for their child as well. The older boys were not so interested in the guitar as our boys but mostly there was this tension of not knowing these strangers. All of a sudden both boys at the same time started for the stroller about 5-6 feet away from us. They began to push it so I turned it around and gave them the back end like in the video. They pushed and pushed and didn’t stop, let go, or look back. They were done with the big kid’s playground and wanted to walk. It was good to see that they have some mechanisms for comfort. Tasks that are familiar can hopefully be used as comforts for the trip home.
