The Secret???

Could it be as simple as walking? That's what I want to know.

Last night, at around 7:30, we put Miss. B in her stroller (a new forward facing one that we got from a friend) and went out and walked 1 1/4 miles on the track. We didn't move fast, spent about a 40 minutes outside. We met a couple of other little kids (Bailey got really excited, smiling and sticking out her tongue), we were able to talk to each other uninterupted, we got some excersize and Bailey went down so easily last night at 8:30...in her crib...and she slept until 4 AM uninterupted. Then she went back down until Kelly had to wake her up this morning.

Could that really be the key? Seriously? Who knew that spending time walking outside could be so good for us, for our daughter, for our relationship...for everything.

We're going to try it again tonight...

I used to sling Bliss and walk around the 3 blocks near my house over and over when he was itty bitty. It worked amazingly well for a time, then driving him in the carseat worked well for a time. It sort of became like this arsenal of things and I would eventually just "know" which would work which night much of the time, but never always.
Great news.
