while we’re fine with going on the occasional anonymous field trip to the local big box store, winter’s coming soon and we probably won’t be making too many treks outdoors during the height of cold/flu/rsv season, so it’s important to get out while the getting is good.

it was a beautiful fall day today, so we took a quick trip around the block in our baby trend expedition jogging stroller travel system ( parenthetically, the “insert” you see in the car seat/stroller is a kiddopotamus snuzzler which does a great job of keeping micropreemies feeling bundled ).

incidentally, the stroller isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to take for a quick trips that involve lugging it into and out of a car, since it’s pretty weighty, but since autie diane trained for the chicago marathon with ruby sitting in it, we know it’s fairly durable which is what we need should we ever get around to training for more marathons.

on the short walk we met a woman walking her dog and she commented as she walked by, “oh, a new one.”

“well, he’s actually over three months old. born quite early he was, ” i said in my best impression of yoda.

“oh. one of those miracle babies then,” she said in a wierdly nonchalant tone.
