Everette was sneaking around on craig's list and found this used jogger stroller (don't worry I am not going to start jogging). but I have been walking a great deal lately, and our stroller just doesn't cut the mustard. This one is so nice. So easy to push, and so easy to fold. He thought about waiting until Mother's Day, but then he thought we might get some good use out of it sooner. I also know that Everette is horrible about waiting to give people surprises. He can hardle contain himself. Don't let hiss cool disconnected aloof exterior fool you, inside he is all boy!
And since we are talking about mothers. I was looking online for info about robin's nest. And I found that Mama birds almost always lay four. THey also only lay one egg per day. The site I found says that if you keep taking an egg out, they will lay another, because they have to "feel" the four underneath them. WHich made me think, I only saw three the other day. At that moment the FedEx man left a package on my front door. So I grabbed my camera, went over to the front door. Banged around, made some noise, tried to calm my pounding heart. I unlocked both locks on the door, creaked open the door slowly, peered up as high as I could to make sure there was no mama bird. Took a breath opened the door, stuck my camera over the top and sure enough....
Speaking of Mother's Day.....
I'm not saying I wouldn't like more, but if he's all I get, I'll take it!
If he reads like his dad, We're going to have to move next door to the Library.

i love that jonathan's already reading handyman. he's so advanced for his age.
So interesting about the four eggs! And I really like the look of your baby jogger. I have a double stroller, but I hate it; it's so cumbersome and heavy. I got a double baby jogger, and I can push it one-handed. It makes such a difference!
1) Your son is ADORABLE!
2) That is is SOO interesting about the eggs!
3) Way to go EVERETTE on the Craigslist purchase! The Craigslist postings here in PGH have jogging strollers on them almost everyday. I always thought "Why are there so many jogging strollers on here...are there really that many serious joggers in Pittsburgh? I would never need one of those!!" but now that I've tried to take my little frame stroller outside for a walk on Pittsburgh sidewalks, I know why there are sooo many on Craigslist! Those little cheap wheels just don't cut it and if E's asleep, he wakes up with every bump. Needless to say, I may be in the market for one when Emerson gets a little bigger too! I'll have to check in when I'm ready to get one and see how yours has worked out...and while I'm already writing a book on here...make sure you tell Everett that he's inspired us and Brock is responsible for all of Emerson's baths! We've even tried pouring water over his face (like you guys recommended) and it's working well. We only had one time that it really scared him and I think it was just because Brock poured it really fast and he wasn't expecting it. So, keep the advice coming.
