      Is that in reference to the parent's reaction or the provider's taking them on a long walk?
      Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

Dcg has never played outdoors before." .

        Maybe she thought I was just making it all up during the interview :confused: ::.

        I know! this is so sad. I have one little one here whose mom told me that she had never been in their backyard before and never been to the park. She was well over 2 at this point.

          We walk everyday!!! I take a double stroller and a Lakeshore walking rope and all 9 of us trek around town!! We visit five or so different parks, library, or the pool (on low days )

          Today was a birthday day so we had on crowns and party blowers!! I bet everyone in town heard us today

          ALL of my families love our activity level....I would def pick our walks over any DCF if they had a problem with it. I am such a better provider when we can get out and run off some energy everyday!!

            You can SEE the two parks we visit daily from our tables.

            I had two parents say that their child would get too tired from walking that distance (5 minute walk) and inquired what I planned to do about that.
            I had to let them know that I plan to walk with my 12 to the park, because it's good for them.
