Yes, I can do this.

I went on my first solo outing with Liam and River today. I figured I had put it off long enough.

We went on a walk down the hill and around the corner to the cafe downtown. Liam rode in the stroller; River in the mei tai wrap.

Liam had a cookie. I sipped a decaf Americano (I have discovered that River is a much happier baby if I keep the caffeine out of both of our systems...ditto for broccoli, too).

We sat in the chairs outside, watching the cars drive by. Liam gave a running commentary on the comings and goings of downtown Siloam:

Motorcycle
Girl
Big truck
Whoa, BIG truck
Guy

Then he was back in the stroller, and we headed home.

Sure, it was a small trip, but it was still a trip.

I think I just might be able to handle the two of them by myself.

  1. Are you serious?? This post puzzles me so much. Of COURSE you can handle the two of them by yourself! Have you forgotten the SNAKE incident so soon??? Well, I haven't. And I will remind you as often as I need to. You are a superhero mom. Go Dorothy!!! :D
