Long days and short years since 2008

Is this a trend?

Wearing The Little Empress @ 27mo

Wearing The Little Empress @ 27mo

I am happy to report that I’ve been toddler wearing more in the past few weeks than I have in nearly a year. There have been a few times in the past week when I’ve had to run errands with a not-fully napped TLE. Rather than wake her up and put her in a shopping cart (which has had disastrous consequences when she wants to sleep), I’ve opted to pop the still-drowsy from her car-nap TLE into a carrier and onto my back. She may wake up and be a bit confused but when she realizes she’s on my back, she relaxes and goes back to sleep.

Good lord, why haven’t I been doing this more?!

I guess TLE is now remembering how nice it is to be worn because she’s now asking to be worn rather than just waiting for me to give her the option. I am absolutely thrilled about this though now I’m debating whether nor not it is time to sell the old Pikkolo to invest in a newer carrier that is better suited for a lanky-legged toddler. Hmmm….

    How cute that you are both happily smiling in the pic. Glad to hear that she likes it and that it’s working for you. I wish we had these when my boys were younger. Do they make bigger sizes? I bet I could fit in one so I can talk my husband into carrying me on his back. LOL. :0)

    I loved wearing the kids on my back too! I HATED them on my front, but the back was out of my way and comfy!

      Thanks for stopping by! I totally know what you mean by wearing on the front. It was such a relief when I could finally wear her on my back when she hit 10mo. Wearing on the front was snuggly for her but was a little limiting as to what I could do.
