note to self....always check the quik release on the stroller
So Wyatt and I were out for a walk around Fort Canning Park and I managed to find all of the ramps because we had the stroller. Wyatt lasted about 15 minutes before needing to get out and be held. That's pretty good for him. I still marvel at all the happy babies I see being pushed in their strollers and wonder if Wyatt will ever find peace in his. The most use he gets out of the stroller is playing with the wheels at home. This he can do a few minutes several times a day. So we get to a point where I have to go down a huge flights of stairs or turn around and walk back the way I came which was too long and too hot to really be an option. I turn the stroller around and with Wyatt in one arm, head down the stairs. About six stairs down, the front wheel pops off and bounces into the street about a 25 feet below. Luckily there was no traffic. Once we get to the bottom though there is plenty of traffic and my wheel is hit by a taxi causing it to roll back to our side of the street and into the driveway of the Ministry of Information. As I round the corner after my wheel I see an armed guard chasing after it as it amazingly boomerangs back to me. I yell a million apologies, grab it and throw it in to the stroller where Wyatt could be sitting. For some twisted reason this event has somehow made the hassle of pushing an empty stroller around worth it. :)

Stacy, I don't know why, but this made me laugh so hard!! I can just imagine this string of events taking place and, while I feel for you, looking back it's just ridiculously funny. I think about you all the time and really hope you're doing well. I've been in a foreign country without internet and I felt soooo alone. We miss you and Wyatt at our playdates. I hope you are soaking up everything you can. Too often we're wishing we were somewhere else and only when it's over to we appreciate where we've been. I hope you're enjoying your experience!!! Big hugs and lots of love, Rachel and Rylie :)
