Over the last week, I have started walking at night with Alexis and Emma. Usually we go out after dinner to give everyone a chance to get some fresh air and calm down a little before bed. Apparently Alexis has been listening to me when I have been talking about out walks :). Friday night after I cleaned up dinner, Alexis brought me my tennis shoes and said "Momma! I need to go for a walk! I sleep better after a walk!". Of course, I can't turn down my little cutie pie so we went for a nice walk. During the entire walk, she sat in her stroller wiggling and saying "my legs/tushy/feet are so excited, I just can't be still!". She also loves to give Emma commands and surprisingly, Emma even listens to a few. The one thing she cannot figure out though is why I pick up Emma's poop. Everytime I get the bag out, she says "But momma, we aren't supposed to touch poop".
Three good things happen on these walks. First, my knee has been feeling much better if I just keep doing my foam roller. The walks have not even been hurting at all. I really don't even remember walking without my knee hurting. It is nice to be able to walk three miles and be completely fine during and after the walk. Second, my daughter cracks me up! I love the memories I am getting with her and since she talks almost all the time, her thoughts make the walk that much more enjoyable. Third, it gets us out of the house. Sometimes it is so easy to fall into a boring routine and I love getting out of the house and changing things up.
