Whenever I have Baby Duty I always take the kids on at least one walk. This is always a risky move because you never can be prepared for two kids running in opposite directions. I think I have it figured out though. Eli rides in the car while Kayden ‘pushes’ him. This usually turns in to me holding her hand while I push Eli in the car. If I can go fast enough, I can convince Eli that he would rather be in the car than walking around. Most of the time it works out! Eli is actually really good at navigating the car around the complex so if he wants to walk while Kayden and I stop and smell all the flowers, it’s not so bad!

On our afternoon walks it never fails that we see the Trash Man. The kids hear the truck from the garage and they both start pointing (Eli) and yelling ‘trash man, trash man, TRASH MAN!!’ (Kayden). So I pull out their car and we head out to find the trash man. Well last week we had to follow the trash truck around half of the complex! We waved and he honked at each stop!

Oh, and luckily we ran into the mail man. We were able to observe him on a few stops as well!
