I am not sure which is better, following or carrying.
Walking behind a toddler is a delightful experience. They bounce and weave. They seem to be going over one way and then the other. If they were an adult you would think they were drunk. Such energy. Such a lack of self awareness.
But when you pick them up you enter another world. You get to hug and tickle. You can buzz ears and count ribs. You get to experience wiggles first hand and hold the squirming mass upside down.
I am not sure which is better but I don’t need to decide. I will just enjoy them while I can. Some day the baby will be a teen aged embodiment of embarrassment and certainly too big to pick up and hang by the heels.
