We headed out for a nice walk after supper tonight, even though the clouds were grey and the wind had picked up. Wyatt still does pretty well in the stroller, although about 2 blocks from home he asked to get out and walk. Turns out he wanted to walk the dog! Who, by all accounts, was being a total brat during the walk - not sure if it was the weather or what, but he pulled almost the entire time, and there was a lot of whining (yes, from the dog and not the toddler!). One might think the more often we walk him, the better he'd get, but after 7 years it seems he gets worse with each walk. We've even switched to a halti collar to try to control the pulling - most days it does make a difference. Thankfully by the end of the walk, he had tired himself out enough for us to let Wyatt hold the leash - if he was still pulling it would not have happened.Time to attempt a 2nd bedtime....the medication I am on to control my blood pressure gives me horrible insomnia - only at night, of course...during the day I fall asleep if I sit still for more than 2 minutes.
