Reese's First Walk

Tonight we took Reese on her first walk around the neighborhood. She seemed to enjoy it (I guess). I know that I did. It was nice to get some exercise and to be able to go on the walk and not need to stop and catch my breath every 5 minutes like I was doing 5 weeks ago. I haven't been able to go on the walks with the boys lately and I've missed out on a bunch of stuff with Wyatt. First of all, he refuses to let me push the stroller. I started to push them and he cried and kicked until Brian took over. He knows every house that he's going to pass with a dog. While we're walking towards the house he points and says "Doggy." When we pass the house and the dog is out he says "Doggy says woof woof," and then he starts panting. If the dog is not outside he says "No doggy. Doggy go bye bye." He also says whatever he thinks or whatever he sees. "Biwdie (birdie), bunny, hop, hop, hop, walk with Daddy, Daddy push, car, beep, beep, beep." And it goes on and on and on.

Tonight we also discovered just how much Wyatt likes sleeping with his new blanket ("banka"). He doesn't even want to read a book anymore. This kid wouldn't go to bed without reading two books. Tonight he walked into his room after his bath and said "bed, banka." Brian asked if he wanted to read and book and Wyatt looked at him and said, "No, bed, banka," and dragged him over to the crib. He just goes to bed, waits for the blanket, wiggles his little toes and falls asleep. We'll see how long this lasts....

Wyatt looking back at "Pieces, pieces" for their first ride in the double stroller. Brian had twin baby cousins born last year and we were fortunate enough to get their stroller that the car seat fits on. We got a side by side too, but this is better for walks around the neighborhood since the sidewalk is so narrow.

Reese in the back!
