One of my favorite things to do on vacation is to take evening walks along the beach. When we went to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, earlier this spring, we discovered that it’s possible to push a stroller along the part of the sand that is made flat by the tide. What a helpful discovery!
We were only in Santa Rosa Beach for three days, but we went walking every evening. We don’t usually let Little Buddy have sweets before bed because it affects his sleep, but we decided to let him live a little…we got peanut butter ice cream one night and ate it on the sand.
A little girl walked up to Little Buddy and asked to use his shovel, and we encouraged Little Buddy to give her a turn. He wasn’t happy about it, but he agreed. When we were leaving a short while later, he informed us that he wanted to leave the shovel for the little girl to play with. That was a difficult parenting moment because the shovel was from the condo and thus didn’t belong to us, so we couldn’t very well leave it. But we made sure to praise him for having such kind intentions.
That ice cream looks good. My Mom gave us ice cream before bed and it help us go to sleep.
I’m glad you let little Buddy have ice cream.
You could have ask the little girls mom to put it my your condo when she was done using it. That’s what I would have done,
Little Buddy living the life! Ice cream AND the beach 😍, and learning to share. Good job Little Buddy!
Aw that’s so fun! I love having ice cream on the beach!
Do you ever baby wear? The Ergobaby carrier was a lifesaver for me during beach vacations.
Sadly he’s not a huge fan of the carrier anymore. I did it quite a bit when he was a newborn, mostly at the grocery store.
