Harvick and Jarrett got to share the jogging stroller (thankfully, they fit side by side, even with Harvick's harness!), and Ryder was on his feet! We took the slings/wraps just in case either Harvick or Jarrett didn't cooperate, or Ryder insisted on being pushed.

Ryder was a little unsure at first - he seemed confused as to why he wasn't in the stroller. Patrick got him excited about walking himself by playing chase with him . . .
| Ryder LOVES to be chased! If only a picture could capture his hysterical laughter! |
| Running his hand along the fence as we walked. |
| Harvick got a little fussy only a few minutes in - thankfully, Patrick walking beside him, holding his pacifier and talking kept him calm until he relaxed again! |
| Stopping to smell the flowers! |
| Another fence for Ryder to run his hand along! |
We'll be letting him walk more often now!
We're still weighing our options about which stroller to purchase. Recent weekend outings have showed us just how hard a triple stroller would be to maneuver. The side-by-side ones aren't really an option, since they are wider than sidewalks and doorways, but the long ones are cumbersome and hard to maneuver in a crowd. At this point we are thinking we will hold out until next Spring/Summer (using our wraps/slings and jogging stroller will work for a few months) to figure out what will be best.

Don't you still have the stroller that matches the carseats? Could you just use those for each boy when they get a little too big to share one? Just a thought. I admire your persistence in walking!
I don't know if you saw the stroller I was using at the farmer's market saturday but it is a side by side Maclaren. I am borrowing it from a friend for a few more weeks but it has been pretty great so far. I don't know if you need three seats but for the twins it would be great. It fits through all the doors I have tried (even in my house) and maneuvers great considering it's a double. It doesn't have cupholders but I think the brand new ones do. The new ones also come with rain covers. They are around 250-300 dollars new but ksl often has them for sale. Hope you find a good deal. I love that picture of you and ryder at the end of the post.
