stroller

Aunt Cathy had a tag sales this weekend, and Kate came back with a stroller for her baby.

Kate is very appreciative of certain toys. A couple of weeks back, Emily got her a present, a doll of "Belle" from Disney's Beauty and the Beast. Kate has never seen the movie, but when she saw Belle, her eyes got wide and her mouth made the "Ooooooooo" sound. "Belllle," she breathed, in wonderment.

But quickly the stroller has assumed favorite status for Kate. She got it home, and immediately put her baby into it. She fiddled around with the canopy over it, and adjusted the angles and so forth as best she could. And then we went for a stroll around the block.

We did this again a little bit later. And then again. And then, "Daddy? Can we go for a walk? Can we take baby with us? In her stroller?"

Baby also strolled about the house. Into the playroom. Up the stairs into Kate's room. Out onto the back deck. Back inside. Back outside. Onto the porch. Into the driveway. Back inside.

7:30 this morning. "Daddy, can we go for a walk?"
