Tula Joy

Sofia

 

In June last year we spent a month in Italy visiting Daddy's family. The trip wasn't part of the plan for 2013 but due to family illness we found ourselves taking you to Italy for the third time in three years.

 

This time though we didn't take a pram. Instead we bought a Tula toddler carrier and strapped you on to our backs. We didn't use it all the time, but whenever the day involved a lot of walking and sightseeing, or maybe the crowds were overwhelming and you were sick of looking at knees and bottoms, or maybe as a safety precaution we would swing you up and around and tuck you and Bluey into the carrier. Many cosy conversations, shoulder height views of the world and summer naps were enjoyed in your Tula.

 

You have turned 4 years old in the meantime and we continue to use the Tula occasionally. It is especially good for long days out and we made use of it during our trip to Melbourne at Christmas time. You are longer and heavier but the Tula distributes your weight beautifully and carrying you is a joy.

This photo captures that joy.
