A walk in the park???

So the days of packing up Bree and Bauer in my beloved Double BOB stroller and going for a run or a walk up to the park are over.  There was a grieving process that had to occur because we would spend a lot of our time during the week (pre-Bennett) being outdoors and this was the easiest way to transport my two very independent toddlers from here to there!  I also got to get in my exercise this way.

I’ve been telling myself that we will find a way to make it these walks/runs work in the future…even with three kids.  And no I’m not getting a triple stroller.

The solution: we had to find Bree her own form of transportation so her side of the stroller could be inhabited by her newest brother.

We had our first test “run” (or rather slow walk) of the new system this past Tuesday.

We added our boys in the BOB…

to our almost 4 year old big girl on her bike…

And decided to just go for it!

We made it down our street, to the rock park, to the wood chip park, fed Bennett a bottle and wandered back home without a meltdown and most importantly without Bree deciding she was done riding her bike!

It was successful on so many levels.  Now if we can just get Bree to continuously ride next to me instead of having to slam on her breaks (just because she knows how to) every other minute, I’ll be one happy “three kid” mommy!
