Today was FINALLY an awesome day weather-wise, and we were actually able to be outside for a significant amount of time without getting cold... at all! When I told Chloe that we were going to be able to go outside, she immediately asked, "Take Mr. Monkey on a walk? Can we?!" Mr. Monkey, for those of you who may not know, is the sock monkey that Grandma Taylor made for Chloe before she was even born (in fact, I think it was just as much for Chad since he kept telling his Mom how much he liked them and would like one for Chloe when she was born). She sleeps with him WHEREVER she goes, and now he's become sort of a constant companion for her. Nevertheless, she wanted to take him for a walk, but we had to pack a diaper bag for him too (located on the right handle of the stroller)! She looks so proud to be taking him for a walk :-)
Doesn't she look like a little mommy?! Too cute! We walked down the street, which took us approximately 20 minutes and then it took nearly 40 walking back! We listened and looked for birds, discussed shadows, heard several other animals including dogs and cows, collected rocks, observed the track team running around the block, figured out where all the cars that drove by were going, and the list goes on. I was hoping to get back in time to have dinner ready for Chad, but to our surprise (though I should have known better than to expect to be back in time to make dinner) Chad actually beat us home. The only normal speed we experienced on the walk was at the end when Chloe saw Chad getting out of Brian's car and started running to him! Haha! It was hilarious :-)
