When you become a parent, time (in retrospect) seems to go by faster. You're doing your thing - changing diapers, pushing a stroller around, doing mounds of laundry- and BAM, it hits you...that moment of clarity and sobering reality that your life is not just yours anymore.

Well, I've been getting more and more of those moments as my son gets older... and you know what? I wouldn't trade them for anything.

    I think this is every parent with a toddler at an airport. I have done more escalator and moving sidewalk "rides" than I could count.

    Not sure what it is about them! The wonder of moving without moving I suppose??

    I did this with my brother constantly. In malls, airports, anywhere.

    I would go up and down the elevators forever while my parents chatted with one another and held my hands. It was the most exciting ride!

    Why does the escalator not have steps? Never seen one that was just a ramp before.

    I think it's not slanted, just the angle of the picture? It's hard to tell though. Might be a flat moving sidewalk like at airports.

    Yup, here in Tucson AZ it gets too hot to be outside in the summer- so you have to look for big air conditioned spaces...One of my favorite activities to do with my energetic toddler was to go escalatoring at the mall...and I was not alone! There was often 4-5 other families with the same idea. The challenge was to get out of there without being lured into unnecessary purchases

    The deadness in your eyes speaks volumes. I, too, wish that Thomas would run off a cliff.
