I've been in denial. I have known for a while what makes a good day for Linus.
It usually involves this...
or at least a little of this.
Sometimes even some of this will work.
He will even tolerate this,
if it results in this.
No matter what, for Linus to have a good day, he must get out. Sometimes a bit of a challenge for his homebody Mommy.

Everything for a reason, right? Linus is a good balance for your family :)
Is he facing the front now? Does he like it more than facing backwards?
I can completely relate to you! Morgan LOVES being outside, and I am not a big fan of it. If it's cold, you won't find me outside. If it's hot, you won't find me outside. Sad to say, but so true. I know in my head that I need to get outside and expose my kids to it so that they'll become more athletic and mobile, but I can't get my body to move when my head says "GO"! I am the biggest homebody...I don't mind just sitting in my house. What would we do without our little toddlers? I think you're an AWESOME mom, Abby!
Ah, adventures in the big world--I always felt my boys got "cooped up cabin fever" so I forced us out into the big, big world too.
He's facing forward!!! Is he happier now? Maybe likes to go for a ride? For his parents sake I hope so. Love all these pictures! gramma B.
My kids are the same way-and even I feel better after getting out for a bit; even though the challenge of getting them, me and all the stuff out is sometimes overwhelming..lol!
Right now, with temps at minus 17, my crew is going a little stir-crazy... They've got to get out in the sunshine.
We're with you, Linus! ;D

Oddly enough, Lily almost does better when we stay in...and I'm the one going stir crazy! Today it was just too darn cold to leave the house, and Lily had a fine day. She enjoys the park on nice days; just don't try to make her run errands, sit in the stroller, or sit in a grocery cart. She has to be free in order to be happy.
