we blend into the neighborhood

so i've been feeling a lot better and oliver, sophia and i usually take a quick walk in the evenings. however, i have not been brave enough to try to get the stroller out all by myself (it involves lugging oliver in his car seat down the stairs to the entryway, with sophia in tow. then getting the stroller base down the stoop and opened up. then getting the car seat attached to it, all while holding on to sophia's leash!) but yesterday i did it! we took a nice walk and oliver didn't cry (he's not a big fan of the car seat), and sophia didn't misbehave, and i blended in with everyone else in the neighborhood with my stroller, baby, and dog! it was really nice using the stroller, but it was a lot of work getting it down, and then back up. some days i really miss the suburbs.
