The strike in Paris continues leaving those in Paris to figure out transportation routes normally available on strike for the next few days. Chelsea had a meeting she had to attend, so I happily watched Gabriel with the instructions to meet her at a certain point so she could breastfeed him. When the time arrived it was raining which seldom slows down anyone accustom to rain, nor first time babysitter’s who want to babysit again. I bundle the precious cargo into a burrito put him in the YoYo (most popular baby stroller in Paris) and put the plastic shield around it. But first I put on my coat, gloves, umbrella in hand and then proceeded to prepare Gabriel for the big adventure. As any parent knows the adult has to be ready first as it saves time.
as soon as we were outside Gabriel looked up through the plastic shield with an odd expression that seemed to say, “What is this!” Of course I would add a swear word in there but as he is five months old he hasn’t heard it yet.
We walked to meet Chelsea who wasn’t faraway, stopped at a cafe so she could breastfeed. Everything went well Chelsea had her meeting, I babysat, and Gabriel saw the rain and after a few minutes he fell asleep.
