Dear Adam

I will never leave you in the garage in the jogging stroller again even if it is just for a second to open the door and set my bag on the counter just four feet away. Today I did this and I immediately heard a strange noise and I turned around to see you rolling down our driveway, across the rocks, and into the street. I dashed after you and brought you back into the garage and got you out of the stroller despite my entire body shaking and the cute smile on your face. I think you kind of liked it but I sure didn't. And thank goodness we don't live on a busy street. I learned my lesson. Please forgive me.
Love, Your Mommy

Glad you are recording your stories for Adam. Just use you brake, if your stroller has one and now breathe.
Lots of love.

I think every mother experiences the "that's what the brake is for" moment. I bet he thought it was the best part of the whole walk! :) Glad all is okay.

In my defense the stroller doesn't have a brake...but I've learned never to leave him in it even for a second!

hahaha i enjoyed this story, despite the danger involved. and it totally reminds me of in the movie Hook- the little baby in the stroller starts rolling down the hill... although that part always disturbed me- because there wasn't a mom running after it! so way to go!

what a terrible moment, but the baby had the thrill of his life!
