Taking our kids out
Whenever the three of us go out, that usually means the kids are generally the ‘happier’ ones and I’d be the more ‘physically tired’ one.
Carrying Vai in the sling when Anya naps in the pram. Going after Vai when he’s entered a shop all by himself. Entertaining Anya’s many questions. Or even handling her tantrums (which I’m not too sure why her Terrible Three days are simply NOT ‘gone’ yet).
But really. Somehow I prefer being outside rather than be confined in the four walls of our home.
I guess it’s because when we’re outside, there are simply more distractions for the kids. Birds and animals to observe. People, cars and buildings to see and talk about.
AND it’s always nice seeing them laugh and have fun.
