I'll admit it, I have stroller envy.
I knew NOTHING about strollers until I was pregnant. I don't even remember ever using a stroller when I was a baby... And after having Josie, I was definitely happy with whatever we could find second hand that worked ok. And with one child, that's fine. But two children, now that's a different story. I see now why people buy expensive strollers. (I previously thought they were crazy.) My previous experience with children before moving here is that you drive where you need to go, and you would use a stroller if you intentionally "going for a walk". In China I just carried Josie because we were there only 3 weeks of her life. But life in Vancouver where you walk most places, or regularly walk on trails, beaches, get on and off buses--is much different. And having 2 children to transport is so much different. Carrying Asher and managing Josie is a different story indeed. Now I get it. You want something that will keep kiddos safe, dry, something easy to push, able to use on different terrains, tow behind a bike, use as a storage for groceries, baby stuff, etc. I am feeling like a stroller is kind of like a prosthetic limb in this culture.
Only problem... I'm just not willing to bite the price bullet that such a savy prosthetic limb costs.
There's prayer right? And even as I'm typing my complaint here I'm humbled that I have never lacked what I've needed. And we'll make it to gymnastics today (I can manage a 10 minute walk!) Perhaps the rain will let up?
