worth every penny



we bought this amazing little 'buggy board' last week, and it has changed my life! ok, that's a bit dramatic, but it has improved my life considerably. it has wheels and attaches to the back of our stroller for Blake to stand on while i push. i know that sounds silly, but we have been struggling a little bit going places that are very far away because Blake gets tired of having to walk so far, and i can't carry him and push (i can hardly carry him anyways), and he's just getting too big to ride on Jonathan's shoulders. so every outing was getting pretty frustrating and stressful. then we found this lovely little thing and it has made all the difference in the world! (and came in very handy on Sunday when the bus wasn't running it's normal route, and i had to walk about a mile from the last stop to our flat.... in church clothes and shoes no less) so the kicker was that this thing cost 40 pounds, which is roughly $60 (gasp). i would normally never consider paying so much for something like that, but in this case, i probably would've paid double!

they both love it, and usually take turns riding on it (or fight over it, whatever you want to call it).

Oh my goodness- I think it would be worth every penny also! That is a lot of walking you guys are doing- I know I would probably want to ride on one of those things too :)!

Hey... that is better than buying a new stroller that has one of those sit/stand things. I have never seen one of those that attaches, very cool! Love seeing all your photos and looks like you are having a great time, enjoy every minute... before you know it you will be back in the boring usa.

Dude, if I had that thing on my Phil and teds with the double seat in the back then people would really stare and I'd have a triple stroller!
