(Inside: Breath in those moments you GET TO leave your work computer at home and be “all in” with your family.)
You might be too big for your stroller if, when you get to the top of a ramp you say, “Mom let go of my stroller so I can see how fast I can go!” (“Sounds like a great idea,” said NO MOM EVER.) This is why 5-year-old’s WALK, little boy.
We recently spent a week in Chicago and loved it. We stayed right downtown, walked almost everywhere, and with the help of our City Museum Pass, conquered the place one museum/aquarium at a time. These kids will be gone in 2.5 seconds (How does it go so fast?) so the NOW seems incredibly important. It was a huge gift to sneak away and make some memories.
