Clothing Improv

A few weeks ago the girls and I took a trip to Chicago to pick up bike riding crazy DK. We visited Millennium Park when DK got off work. This was the first time we visited this area when Martha was awake. She though Cloud Gate AKA The Bean was pretty cool and was jumping up to touch it and such. Ruth nursed to sleep and took a great nap!

Her favorite of course was the water feature at Crown Fountain. First we told her not to get wet because I left her extra clothes in the car....after a potty trip and picking up a Hot Dog we returned to the fountain...and she started putting her hand on the wall where water was coming down it all went down hill from there, though she didn't go under the serious poor out! When we finally dragged her off she was cold and tired and we were starving!

While picking up food from Chipotle I needed a potty break so I took her in with me and got rid of all her wet clothes. I almost always carry a pair of extra unders for the girl and for some reason I had a new shirt too. So I put her dry clothes on and tied her all up on my back. You could not tell the child is missing bottoms! She was warm happy and close to momma...DK put Ruth on front in the Ergo and took the backpack. We had a nice walk back to the car before the torture of picking up the bike and driving home with tired kids.

Thank You Hy for letting us borrow this great wrap! The wrap is a 4.6 meter Nairobi Hoppediz Light. Ruth is nursing in a Cross Carry, tied behind her back to prevent some earlier leaning! You can see the Ergo hanging behind me and my backpack on me in the pic with Ruth...I prob looked crazy to people! Martha is in a Back Wrap Cross Carry.
