This morning we test drove our new-to-us Schwinn Joyrider. Camilla is in love and still sitting in it after being home for half an hour. She may just eat her sandwich there as well. We took it to the library for Sing Sign and had a blast. I love that it has a swivel wheel in the front. My arms feel so much better after a long walk. The only bummer is that it doesn't fit through the doors at the library.
It's actually a double, but Hyrum is too little still. Camilla was loving the extra space and stretched right out to enjoy the ride. I didn't hear a peep the whole way there or back. She just sat enjoying the view and being protected from the mosquitoes. I'm excited to use it more outside this summer as we go on family outings.
Although I love having Hyrum close to me, I'm looking forward to when he's big enough to be pushed around. Then, maybe I'll take up jogging again.
On the walk there I got thinking about some advice a friend shared with us this weekend. They talked about how parents sometimes get mad at their kids for being bad when in reality, the parent is just annoyed at what the kid is doing, and the kid really isn't being bad at all. Does that make sense? I think that rang true here this morning. There were a few times I was mad at Camilla for being "bad" when really she was just doing something I didn't want her to be doing. I think it's time to step up my patience level and let her be a kid and enjoy everything around her.
On a side note, Hyrum totally giggled this morning and it was hilarious! I have no idea what he was laughing at as he was just sitting in his bouncer. He is getting more content with just sitting and watching and listening. It's such a relief. I'm looking forward to watching him grow and change and follow his big sister's footsteps.
