your 21 month old, 3rd week
Have some time to spare? Ditch the stroller and let your toddler lead you on a walk around the block. You'll be amazed at how many times she'll stop to check out small objects such as an interesting rock, a dead leaf, or an ant hill. Your toddler isn't trying to drive you crazy by dawdling. To her, the journey is as exciting as the destination and the small details of the world are irresistible to her now. Your toddler will also be fascinated by changes in the weather: Being out and about during a rain shower, snowfall, or on a windy day can be an adventure of its own.
