Day 35

Yesterday was "National Walk to School Day,"

so I borrowed a different stroller to accommodate all of my "littles,"

and we walked.

We met up with a family from down the street.

They have 3 boys,

2 of which happen to be right around Gray's age.

Grayson LOVED being able to walk with the other boys,

and spent most of the walk running at least a block ahead.

All of the kids who walked were able to pick out a charm when they arrived.

You can't tell from this picture,

but Gray chose one that has a little guy who looks like he's walking.

 I realized at this point that I hadn't taken any pictures along the way like I had planned.

I guess it's a little hard to do when you're

pushing 100lbs of kid and stroller, though, so

I'm going to go ahead and be okay with the fact that

this picture was taken at the last minute and blurry.

 After listening to some music

and giving high-fives to a couple of IU football players,

Gray headed in with our neighbor friend to start his day.

 

It was a little odd for me to take Gray all the way to school

and then not walk him in.

If I thought that I would have been able to manage getting the

stroller through the halls and wrangling three kids 3 and under

in the process I probably would have.

Instead, I decided to chalk it up to a very important lesson

of knowing when to let go.
