Changing Seats


OK, I am being unrealistic. I know the time has come to change Reeves' car seat. It is time to take him out of the bucket and put him in the Britax, but I am fighting it with every ounce of my being. I have been blessed with a 20th percentile in weight child, so carrying him around in this thing has not been a horrible burden. But, by the same note, he has now reached the 97th percentile in height. We are, therefore, beginning to reach the limits of the bucket's abilities. But... this means - buying another car seat for Bryant's truck, buying a car seat for Julie's car, and, most frightening of all, not being able to run errands when it is nap time!! AAAGGGHHH! How do you handle it? At the moment, Reeves can sleep through 4 or 5 different stops. What now? Is it illegal to leave them in the car if the weather is cool, and you're just running in really quickly? I would lock the doors and leave the windows cracked. (OK, don't freak out, Nazis, it's just a joke!!)
First the mattress lowering, now this. I suppose I should go ahead and order his cap and gown before it sneaks up on me like this milestone did.

IT is hard, but you do eventually adjust. You only get to do 2 or 3 stops before they peter out. I remember all the sudden in a store going "Ah where do I put him?" So I can write a check. Craziness!
