Dilema Solved

well kind of. Thanks to everyone who gave me their input on this. I had it all planned out in my head how I would solve this...if everything went according to plan this was how it was all going to go down:

I would volunteer to take Blake to story time and then somewhere else fun afterwards, so mom could have a break. When I would get to her house,I would mention that we had an extra one at our house if her mom needed it for her car for when she had the grandparents. Depending on what she would say we would go from there.

How did it really go down?

I went to pick him up, I asked her for her booster seat for him (because I had forgotten mine)....she informed me he "really didn't need one." My jaw dropped and I must have looked horrified because she said "oh calm down I will get you mine." Again I was speechless and didn't say anything close to what I thought I was going to say, but I left feeling that regardless car seat safety maybe was not necessarily #1 in their book. I am left with praying, and God can move mountains!!!

On a lighter note, he was HILARIOUS!! We are used to girly girls around our house, and Blake informed me of pokemon, star wars, and all kinds of other things we are not typically exposed too!!! He told me he LOVESSSS the lieberry and that they are the funniest places to go to. I asked him if we could run an errand or too and he happily obliged. When we got to said store, he asked why we couldn't use the "drive thru", my sides hurt when I was done laughing!!

Car Seat Safety 101

I picked up Claire from church the other day, and a classmates grandma had parked next to us. Claire needed to call daddy so we were just hanging out in the parking lot when grandma came out with her two grandsons (cousins not brothers), she put one in a booster seat and the other (who wont be 4 until March) in just the seat. My jaw dropped and I panicked, I seriously did.

I didn't say anything to her, and it is still haunting me to this very moment, what if something had happened on her way home? How would I be able to sleep at night? I am not sure if I should say anything to her daughter with whom we are associates with. Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all, which is probably the right answer because people can get very sensitive over this kind of stuff. I am very conflicted over this situation. If I thought grandma was just visiting from out of town and this would be a one time ordeal I would probably just let it go even though I wouldn't want to; however this grandma has the boys a good chunk of the time. One she even has five days a week as his mom works.

What are your thoughts?
