Just to get this out of the way ... this isn't another morbid post -- those toddlers still exist. And I'm pretty sure that they still get walked round my block all connected to the apparatus in the picture to the left. It's just that during the summer, the window in the bedroom that also serves as my "murphy-office" (I work from home, and so a nightstand easily doubles as a workstation with some creativity -- like a "murphy-bed" for you not old enough to catch that reference) has an air conditioner in it so I don't get to watch the 'hood go by while I'm busy working remotely.
So during the summer months I just don't get to hear them coming from half a block away (and why is it that the littlest kids scream the same way whether they are giddy as all get out or whether they just lost a limb in a horrific accident?) ... or see them as they round the corner all interconnected with the warden (I mean, the day care worker) lined up at the back.
[By the way, once I settled on this post for today, I worked remotely by my living room window today in hopes that I could catch a glimpse of them and take a real picture of them as they passed -- until I realized that it might be hard to explain to someone who might observe me taking pictures from my second story window of toddlers as they passed that it was just to be posted on the internet. So I quickly realized that a stock photo would still get the message across.]
Little tiny people that I wish they could train to pick up trash while you were on your walk (and how cute would you all look in little orange vests!), the pause in my day that I previously took to watch as you pass is missed!
