Directions for a "fun thing for the day," written by Matt:
So here's what you do:
1) Grab your nearest baby who can't quite walk but likes to push a little cart/wagon thing.
2) Head to your nearest mega shopping mall. We chose the Galleria, 4th biggest in the country, but we hear that [cousin] Timmy has an even bigger shopping palace available nearby...lucky baby!
3) Choose your timing correctly! We went at 11 AM on Sunday, with just enough people walking by to say "oh how cute" but not enough to cause trouble.
4) Now, start your baby at one end of the mall...and see how far you get before your baby gets so tired of walking that she just sits down and pushes halfhartedly at the cart.
5) In case of emergency, we found it helpful to have a second emergency backup baby available. Our "starting pitcher" could only get halfway down the mall, but luckily, we brought backup. Be prepared!
6) If you make it to the end of the mall, you all earn a nap!
We'll be doing that one again, for sure. Wish I had brought the camera; the proud smiles on C&D's faces were certainly worth remembering.
