JC's future is in his genes. with all the comments you already know this was nothing near a boring post. good storytelling. i can see you taking notes in your head the whole time its happening. of course, i choose to never live “in” the city but … i do appreciate the fact that you city dwellers are bad ass.

But honestly, it's a sweet ride. I don't know why babies cry so much. They live the life. There is like a window cutout/air vent thing. But honestly, it’s a sweet ride.

I always wondered that, and since I don't think you guys would suffocate him, I'm actually curious how he gets fresh air in there.

We got to Earlsfield to find out that they have no lift. And no one was around. I couldn't even get to the other side of the track to get back to Wimbledon. I stood, at the top of the stairs, in tears, until some nice man, who was a dad, helped me carry the stroller down the stairs. I got to my friends house, called my husband, and figured out how to get back to Wimbledon via bus. 3 buses actually. When you do these things and you can confidently maneuver the buses/black cabs with your stroller? You have made it in London with a baby :) Oh and my biggest pet peeve of the bus is when someone has a double stroller and you can't get yours on as well!

Jonah in his stroller would have fit right in. I think they did dogs, too.
