Trying out the new pram

Today started out as a beautiful sunny day so we tried to go for a walk with our new pram. By the time I got the outside clothes on Catherine and got her into the pram she was screaming and nothing other than comfort of the feed would console her. Our baby doesn’t seem to be fond of clothes specially hats and gloves. We tried again 60 minutes later with the same result. Third time lucky – while she was deeply asleep I put her into the pram, covered her with blankets (instead of trying to get her into a snowsuit - I’m convinced that those things are invented to torture parents and babies), managed to get the gloves and hat on her without waking her up and we were off to the park. The walk was success; she tranquilly slept through all of it and is still asleep 30 minutes after we got home. And we made it home just in time – the sky got covered in clouds and we can now enjoy the peaceful sound of the rain hitting the windows and conservatory roof.
