Walking...er...strolling

In an effort to still be around when Troy is my age, I have started to take walks around the neighborhood. When the weather is pleasant, I take Troy with me too. It's about three and half miles, and it takes a little over an hour to complete. Normally, I wouldn't think he'd have the attention span to stick with it that long without complaining, but he does. He loves to ride in the stroller and look around at everything. He’s so curious, and there’s so much to see. As we go, he'll point at things for me to look at, and I tell him what they are. I love that he’s such a great walking companion. 

Most of the time, he makes it through the entire walk, but occasionally he'll fall asleep somewhere along the way. He'll slump over into the side of the chair, and I'll prop his head up with a blanket. And he'll enjoy the bumps and unevenness of the sidewalk as we plod along with the breeze in his hair and the sun on his face. It’s fun to hang out with him and exercise at the same time. Hopefully it will set him up with good habits later on.
