It's no secret that my little buddy likes the great outdoors. She loves to stand at the window and watch all the action going on in the parking lot outside our door. She also dearly loves to actually go outside, although this is a bit more of a rare treat. She gets her shoes, and her sweater, and her pacifier clip, and stands near the door with all these accessories assembled, and waits for me to catch the hint. Since we recently got a frame back pack child carrier, she will go over to it, and put her arm in one of the openings, and wait for me. When I ask her if she wants to go outside for a walk, she will then get her shoes and sit on the floor next to the carrier, and wait for me to come help put them on. This happens several times everyday. I am amazed how much she loves being in the carrier, where she can see so much of what is going on as we walk. We went for a short 15 minute walk today, and Elise loved every minute. She is still a bit scared of the rain/sun shield, and the bug netting, but she loves being in the carrier. Even if we stay inside, but we walk around to the different rooms of the apartment while I'm wearing her in it, she loves it. Hopefully this will help in my quest to get myself into better shape....and will give my shoulder a bit more of a break than the Baby Bjorn front pouch was giving it. So, any one up for a walk? Elise is, so let's go!

What a sweet, smart little girl. I marvel at the fact that she'll patiently waiting for you. Isaac tends to have little meltdowns as we prepare to go out--I have so many things to gather and I think he starts not believing that we're actually going outside. Do you guys have a good stroller? That would definitely help your shoulders out more... Love you!

It's too bad we don't live closer to each other. My dog loves to go on walks too! It would be nice to have a buddy on walks. :-)
