Loitering

Resting (crop)

I can see just how slow traveling on foot with a toddler is going to be. Normally when we walk somewhere, she has to run her hand along every filthy surface along the way. Yesterday, she thought it would be a good idea to clean off a dusty ledge with the front of her dress and face. Walking down the street

The "just leave her behind and she'll catch up" trick didn't work at all.

Resting

I think I'll sit down on this ledge.

Actually watching where she's going for once

A rare occasion of looking where she's going.

Look! A shadow!
