HELPER

Most days I try to walk "the loop" with the kids - about 1.7 miles around our neighborhood.  The Big Kids ride their bikes while Baby J gets pushed in the stroller.  The route has many tiny and big hills.  Depending on the day, I normally have one hand on AA's back,  pushing her up the incline and one hand on the stroller.

Apparently this routine has not gone unnoticed.  AA was whining for a push today on the flat part of our walk.  We were almost home, so I just ignored her (is that bad?).  Baby J started squirming out of the stroller, grunting and pointing at AA.  I finally let him go free, and he sprinted to his Big Sister.  He placed one hand on her back and ran with her the whole way home!
