Teddy gets the undivided attention of our sitters this week because AJ is at his grandparents' house for a week of e-learning, Beast rides and card games. Our sitters take advantage of these week to spend a bit more time outdoors because Teddy loves being outside. This week Bri took Teddy to Waukau Nature Preserve, which is where we went for our Christmas Eve stroll.
She realized when she got there, though, that there was no way she could push him on the snow-covered trails in his chair. She realized she had a sled in the vehicle because they had also been looking for sledding hills, so they traipsed into the woods using the sled. Teddy was super chill hanging out on the sled, which is slightly surprising because he often wants to take off exploring. I think perhaps the woods was enough of a distraction itself and there were no docks, open garage doors, etc. to distract him.
I chuckled to see the sledding hill they found because it's a rather steep hill that curves and has plenty of obstacles on the sides. But they managed to safely navigate it several times and had a blast sledding in the woods and exploring there.
I'm not sure I'd have thought to take a sled for that hike, but it's definitely something I think we'll have to try this winter because they had so much fun! We're so grateful for our sitters who not only keep our kiddos safe but also give them such fun experiences.
