We have had illness in the house this week (only the two non sickies went out last night) so today's adventure was a slow wander. We started with the intention of just doing the short loop of Bledisloe Park. Just a little walk to get some fresh air and move the sicky bodies.
Mr T led us confidently around the loop stopping to peer over into the stream at each opportunity. He was on the look out for ducks. Once at the end of the loop, I asked him which way. He picked uh and pointed with the steps. My bad… But given I offered the choice, it was only right to follow through… We wandered up. As we got further up he got a little slower and added a grunt at each step. He was working hard. We decided to head back down one flight from the top (otherwise it would have been an extra extra long adventure). Back at the bottom, Toddler charged off running. We caught up and overtook. "No Mama! Me!". He wanted to be the leader. He happily led us back to the car. A short, child led adventure. One of the best kinds.
