7.17.10: Riding 'big girl' style


fiona riding in a cart for the first time

Yesterday we tried to skip the daily walk and just entertain the girls in the evening before dinner time. After about 15 minutes, I remembered very quickly why we all go on daily walks. There was no going back, we stuck it out at home until dinner. I must admit, Brant and I were exhausted from all the entertaining we had to do to keep everyone happy during this 'peak' time for the girls. What can I say, the girls REALLY like their walks.

So today we decided for our daily walk, we would adventure to Target. This time with a twist! We decided to carry two of the girls (wrap + bjorn) and then put the third in the shopping cart. That's right. We have triplets and we were rolling strollerless. We decided Fiona was the best candidate for the cart. Stella has been in a super cuddly/clingy mood lately so we didn't think she would tolerate being in the cart too well. Daphne still loves to lick everything and wiggle, making her a poor candidate for the cart as well. Fiona, our studious baby was the first to encounter the shopping cart. She did really well. She kept trying to turn around to see where we were going, clearly used to a forward facing stroller. She had no interest in looking at her parents pushing the cart/her. Overall our strollerless adventure was a success.
