Getting out with the Vibe!

So for the past two days, the Vibe stroller has been the best thing ever. Yesterday morning was stormy, but I was able to take the boys to the mall to get some errands done, and they were both happy. In the afternoon I was going to let Jack run around in Borders before we did the grocery shopping, but every time I tried to hold his hand because it was a safety issue or because he was going to wreak havoc, he would collapse to the ground and refuse to cooperate. (he does this thing where he just falls and swings around my body because I'm still holding his hand... I just hope his arm stays in the socket.) Solved the problem by leaving and going to the grocery store where he was a peach in the shopping cart. Declan was just hanging out in the Bjorn this whole time.

But this morning was the best accomplishment - loaded the boys up in the stroller and we walked downtown to the gym - it was a beautiful crisp morning and I was so happy to get out early. Once we got to the Y, it was great to see all of the babysitters there, and they were thrilled to see Jack again and meet Declan. I always make sure that I hang out for awhile in the beginning to make sure Jack is acclimated, and also to hang out with the babysitters and chat in Spanish, which I think translates into more attentive care for the boys when I'm not there. I feel like I got a great workout with the walk there and back, and I got a lot of stretching in at the gym since I've been having a lot of neck and wrist pain - casualties from taking care of two small kids, I think. I'm so excited to be back on the gym / babysitting bandwagon again!
