The Double Stroller makes it Debut...

I hate strollers. I had a whole soap box about why they were so lame when I was pregnant with Ale. Take a survey next time you're out and about and see a stroller. 9 times out of 10 the kid is not in the stroller, rather walking or being carried. Ale got older and we began using an umbrella stroller which we still use and like when it's necessary. But oh the double stroller.........I've been avoiding it since Yeva's birth. I folded today and dragged it out of the attic deciding to walk to the park and have lunch on a whim. Usually I sling Yeva and push Ale in the stroller. That gets tiresome hence the double stroller.

We were given a used Sit and Stand from my mother in law who works as a nanny and gets all the hand me downs she wants. Though it feels as though I'm pushing an 18 wheeler it wasn't too bad except for feeling a little too uber suburban mom for my liking.

The park was nice. We met an old Italian man, Aurelio, and his grandson who was Ale's age. Neither one spoke English. I was surprised how much we could communicate just based on the Spanish I know. Made me grateful for investing in language level--even at a second rate intensity. The boys played nicely until Ale needed the bathroom (why does he only need to poop in horrendous public facilities?) It's fun watching children just up and play with each other not even being able to speak to each other.

Now we're home. Here I am. I've only had to get up three times in the course of writing to sing Ale back to sleep (obviously not feeling well) and change Yeva.
