We Scoot

Chase and I were feeling left out having to hang back with the stroller while Ben and Toby took off ahead on the scooters so we fixed the problem by getting an Ergo back sling and getting me a Xooter. This is the way to do it. Chase loves it and it cuts our "getting there" time in half.

I can't wait to hear what the overprotective parents of NYC are going to say about this one as we whiz by them and their Bugaboos. Not knockin' bugaboos--it's just that they usually don't have more than 1 kid yet so they're a little uptight still.

Actually the disapproving looks come more from really old people who forget [or never knew] how capable kids are and they think it's my first day as a Mother and feel the need to give me advice. But we'll save that for another post! Here's to happy riding and not being as late!

You make motherhood look like too much fun! Maybe you don't want me to come see you because I will slow you down?

Rhonda Riley said...

You were made for boys!!!! Obviously only adorable ones:) Just afraid you will get Ann convinced to get one..can't take that kind of pressure...love to you all!

Brooke said...

Totally awesome! I'm totally going to copy you one day. Gotta get this second kid outta me and into a backpack. Oh yeah, and Benson needs to learn how to ride a scooter. Looks like so much fun.

You are the coolest mom I know! Seriously, you put other NYC moms to shame. We need to come down!. I really want to check out the Natural History Museum.

Andi said...

I love the scooter! Such a good idea for NY.

Brooke and Tyler Todd said...

Brilliant! I had a good laugh with that and had to share it with Tyler. I bet that is a sight to see weaving in and out of the crowded streets in NYC!

Meagan said...

your all suppose to have helmets!!!! I wish I was there with you so we could get a whole team going and really upset those fun uptight people. This time I promise not to tell them off in front of the temple.
