We finally got Baby A’s buggy out to take him on a trip. I’ve been accused of mollycoddling him so it’s about time really. To be fair we haven’t taken him out enough, but it was a lovely day so we thought we’d let him check out his new wheels. He was ecstatic to get into the pushchair (as you can tell by the picture)…..
We didn’t go too far – went into the supermarket first, just to see what his reactions would be. He was as good as gold, eyes wide open and looking around at everything.
At one point I said to Mummy A “Shall I scare him a bit?”…..and took him into the baby milk section. What can be more terrifying for someone that dislikes milk, eh?
Afterwards we drove to a few other shops in the retail park. I don’t know whether it was because of the weather, but the whole place stank. Not “oooh, there’s a funny odour in the air” sort of stink, but “It smells so bad I’m going to be sick” type of smell. At first we thought it was Baby A’s nappy (few things are worse than that), but this smell got everywhere.*
As a result we didn’t stay out too much longer, but Baby A seemed to have a good time of it. He enjoys the motion in the buggy and only got a little bit ratty when he got hungry (still didn’t want milk though).
* Turns out the retail park is built near a sewage works. Clever planning there.
