Being a father of triplets who's ...Great stuff. Being a father of triplets who's logged hundreds of miles pushing them in the triple baby jogger, I agree with all these suggestions and will add a few more based on my trials and tribulations.<br />1. If you want to run long, get them out a little before their typical nap time. This way, they can enjoy the scenary for a while and then nap.<br />2. Depending on their age, bring diapers and wipes. Inevitably, one of them always took a poop.<br />3. Be flexible and open minded. Sometimes, no matter how much stuff I brought for them (food, drink, toys, etc.), they just weren't in the mood to be in the stroller for too long. Accept that you'll have to turn around a little sooner than planned sometimes.<br />4. When you're done, thank your kids for allowing you to do something you love; then, go do something they love. <br /><br />My boys are almost 4 and I'm amazed at how sometimes we'll drive somewhere and they will say, "we've been here,in the stroller." And I'll think about it and realize we ran there 2 years ago!!! They really were paying attention. :)<br />Enjoy it, it's a great time.<br /><br />JoeJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608557123854739683noreply@blogger.com
