How to create a happy urban baby part 2

Step 1: Take bus downtown and pick up child early from preschool.

Step 2: Walk through the city five blocks to the most amazing library with a HUGE children's area.

Step 3: Ride the escalator in the library several times.

Step 4: Check out mountains of children's books and stuff them in a bag to bring home.

Step 5: Walk several more city blocks to the bus stop (include downhills to "run"). (Marvel to own self that son is actually walking and not begging to be carried!)

Step 6: Take bus home. Allow bus driver to give child "ticket."

Step 7: Stop by local pizza place. Allow son to watch chef create your dinner.

Step 8: Let son hold pizza box and walk home. (Pizza box distracts from steep two block uphill walk)

Final step: Listen to son declare that he loves his new home, new school, and the sunshine.
