While out grocery shopping with Gus strapped to my chest in a BabyBjörn, I’m struck by how much more exciting the world feels. I’m reawakened to life and reminded of past outings with my own father. One time, decades ago, we took a walk to the old part of the city and he still talks about it to this day. If my father even laughs too loudly, she tells him he’s getting “punchy.” That usually quiets him down. It’s wonderful when you’re out in the world doing the simplest things with the one you love so close.
