Toddlers convention
This morning as I was walking up 36th after getting a double short latte at Espresso To Go, I ran into a mother walking with her young daughter, who was looking like the whole walking skillset was still under development. The little girl gave me a shy smile, and I smiled back. The mother gave me a big, proud smile. My daughter can walk! About twenty feet onwards, I ran into another mother carrying a child of about the same age as the little girl. About twenty feet after that, I saw a worried, scowling mother with a child of about the same age in a stroller. About fifty feet beyond, I ran into a mother walking with a child who was barely capable of it at all and was definitely getting help at maintaining verticality. Across the street, two parents with a small child, and down the sidewalk another mother and child. Okay, this could not be a coincidence! Must be some kind of toddlers convention in Fremont, perhaps at the Baptist church on 36th. Man, I bet the consuite is a mess!
