July 11th.... a date in which I will not forget. Other than being Ildiko's 30-something b-day........it is the first day that Carter actually sat in his stroller and took a long RIDE! This may come as a total shocker to some of you, but my child REFUSES to ride in a stroller. Hasn't wanted to since he was able to walk on his own. So basically for the past year it has been a battle. We decided to not spend a bunch of money on an expensive BOB double stroller because we knew we would not get our money's worth. So we opted for this Joovy double stroller that has a sit or stand option for the bigger child. We went to the West Town Festival yesterday and went prepared with a sucker (yes, we bribe our child!) in hand and the commitment to be "firm" with him and not allow him to get his way and WALK. So thankfully it worked!!
