Somebody's Graduated...

...to the Big Boy Car Seat!  And it's Lucas!  I think we graduated Elijah around 10-12 months, but rear facing, and for all intents and purposes, Lucas should really be rear-facing as it is. It turns out this all happened by sheer coincidence this past week. I went to pick Lucas up on Wednesday from Day Care and got to the car and realized that Aaron had not left his infant car seat with Kathy.  So I figured, Hey! I can just move this headrest down a bit and tighten the straps and the kids should be a ok for one ride...and then Friday came along and again, Aaron had left home with the infant car seat in his car. A moment of panic rushed over me when I thought - "How am I going to get both kids to daycare with only one car seat?! And then it dawned on me, we had bought an even bigger boy car seat for Elijah at a garage sale the other weekend and it was still in the back of the van (original intent was to swap it for Elijah's current seat in the truck...yada yada yada, you really don't care about all that)- so sheer panic departed, slight irritation set in (due to now tardiness to appointments, et al., due in large part needed installation of second car seat) and then departed about half way to final destination. HAHA! and the rest is history as they say, because I don't see us changing anything, except for taking out the infant seat base in the middle of the van, in the near future.
With all that needless blabbering, finally here is your photo of the Big Boy Lucas (15 months) in his Big Boy Car Seat!

Awwwww!

Just for kicks, here is what the van would look like with three kids sitting in it (well minus the kids)!
