How to create an urban baby 101

1. Move to city neighborhood

2. Go for runs in the BOB through aforementioned neighborhood

3. Drive to school and name objects in the city that you pass daily (sea plane, space needle, city library, museum, etc.)

4. On later drives to school hear things like "Mom, there is the Space Needle. Let's go there soon. Will you hold my hand in the elevator?" "After school let's walk to the park or go to the library." "We could take the bus instead of driving." and "Let's just walk." (in reference to going to the store, out for dinner, to the park, to the post-office, really to anywhere).

Suddenly the urban baby no longer asks questions about homeless people, assumes that getting places on foot or by bus is the way to go, and is aware that the giant buildings are full of working people or places people live. Pretty fabulous...
