Every Afternoon Is a Walking Afternoon

This caption has nothing to do with the story!

Mary Jane and Betsy need to go on their afternoon stroll with Daddy.  Hopefully today they will pass Mommy as she drives home from work.  She'll stop and wave and they'll have large, precious smiles.  But Daddy cannot swap cars with Mommy because he cannot drive stick.

Bust a Brief Move While Walking the Car

Mary Jane loves to walk the car every day.  Never mind that it should actually be ridden (on the way back I tried but she hasn't quite mastered the foot movements for that yet), she'd rather push it down the road.  So in this video, Mary Jane powers on only to pause for a few seconds, go to the front of the music-playing car and presses a button for a tune.  A brief little clap and dance and off she goes again!

She should be do for another walk at 4:30 or so but it is a bit windy out so I'd rather not see Mary Jane and Betsy Jo flying off into the wind like wannabe nannies in Mary Poppins.

Meanwhile the bunnies are hiding in their cages today.  It's a bit too windy for them and Phillip detests wet grass.

Mary Jane Walks!

Mary Jane is now fully bipedal... for at least a few steps.  She makes it around the house well enough to surprise Mommy and Daddy.  However walking on the backyard grass is still a challenge.  She refused to chase the bunnies on foot today.  Instead she stood there flexing her toes in the grass and refusing to go anywhere.  That was clearly a sign of weakness that the bunnies can manipulate.

Meanwhile in the house, Mommy and Daddy have both been nearly tackled by the silent linebacker strolling the kitchen.  BAM!  There goes the knee!

Rumor has it that Mary Jane will NOT run in the 5K tomorrow in Long Beach but will rather take the day off to work on other projects like smiling, laughing, and faking coughs.
