so this is one photo that deserves a special mention because it captures a historic moment. It's the first, uno, primeiro, time that Mr "I hate my stroller" Lay slept in his "new secondhand/old stroller" that I got off a motherhood forum for $55. I had put him in after he fell asleep from nursing. (yeah, yeah i can hear all you Tracy Hogg fans out there "tsk tsk-ing" away for letting him fall asleep at the breast...)
Val has NEVER fallen asleep in a stroller, rather he views them with a strong suspicion so he is never relaxed in one, but super alert, and always checking and making sure mommy's not going to run away and thus strives to stay awake no matter how tired he is. The previous stroller which was a hand-me-down from a cousin had only a three point harness which val learnt how to get out of and would stand precariously on it. A few times, when i looked away, he was already up and hanging onto the handle bars threatening to topple it. So i had no choice but to go online looking for a cheap stroller with 5-point harness. He's smart. Once he acquainted himself with this one, he realised that there's simply no escape for Baby Houdini and thus he has actually learnt to deal with it. Of course i need to ply him with a range of different distractions, and once in a while take him out of it for a cuddle.
Yesterday i took him for a 45 min walk in the stroller, i was definitely ready for a nap after but my lil man, who was yawning non-stop, still fought off the ZZZ monster while in the machine. Although he did sleep for an hour on the bed right after......
