The First Carriage Walk
It was really nice out today, so while Finnur was a hero and helped the big kids tidy up both of their bedrooms, which were nearing disaster-status yet again, I took Emma out for a walk in her ‘big carriage’ for the first time.
Out on a walk. This carriage entered the family structure via my brother Nökkvi when he and Jóhanna had their first child. Finnur’s sister, Steinunn, bought it from Nökkvi a couple of years ago, and now we’re borrowing it!
Emma was fast asleep when I put her in there, but promptly woke up when I left her outside a bakery for a little while (i.e. stopped moving). Thankfully she fell back asleep shortly thereafter, and slept for a little while on our patio after I returned home. Of course, she woke up just as I was sitting down after cleaning up a bit downstairs, and about to enjoy a tiny sliver of me-time. How do kids do this?!? What freaky sensors do they have?! Gaaah!
Spring is in the air though, with all the budding trees everywhere in spite of the weird often freezing and snowing weather we’ve been having these past few days.
