Today my name was patience

Friday and Tuesdays have turned into Mommy-Willy days.  On Tuesdays we're attending a movement class for kids (its fun, albeit not always developmentally appropriate for my 2 year old).  Its only 45 minutes so afterwards we have time to spare.  This past Tuesday we did the McDonalds snack thing.

Fridays often are wide open.  Every other Friday we have a chiropractic appointment right after drop off, and then often its whatever we want - no plans!

Today Willy wanted to stay and play with the train set at the chiropractor so we stayed for a good half hour. Then I suggested a tim bit, so we walked over to Tims.  Walking with Willy on the main drag is ... CRAZY! The kid loves to run, doesn't listen and there are cars and people everywhere.  Its a challenge!

Willy had 1 tim bit and I treated myself to a small coffee.

After that, he said he wanted to scooter, so we came home.

We scootered up and down our street for a while.  There is a spot in the sidewalk across the road where there are 2 small 'bumps' and that is his favourite spot.

Scootering over the bumps!

After about 20 minutes of that he wanted to go around the block and I said OK.  Let me tell you, you haven't tested your limit for patience until you've scootered around the block with a stubborn 2 year old.  It took us at least half an hour. It was crazy.  It was stop and start and turn around and look at this and that - but we survived!

I managed to get him inside after that because he was hungry and thirsty.  He napped really well!
