Mrs. Ruttley-

Thanks for loaning the class the car seat. Anna was the first one in it and enjoyed showing her classmates how to be safe- What a GREAT idea. She fell asleep for nap around 1:30.

Dawn

It was a decent ride home. Still I feel like the straps are too loose but we can work on that bit by bit. She squirmed at first but I kept talking to her and distracting her and she was very proud of herself in the car seat. She did ride home with her arm between the chest straps and her chest but she asked if she could do that and I said yes. Step by step...

So the round trip was great, just like the old days, with looser straps. When we got home, it was tons of praise and she was so excited! Hell, so was I. In fact I had enough energy for her to help me cook scrambled eggs for her dinner...she cracked the eggs into the bowl, stirred them up, dumped them into the pan, and helped me stir them in the pan (carefully!) while they cooked.

Packing, bath, and bedtime (with a bit of a fight thrown in on the last one).

Here's hoping the car ride to school tomorrow is just as good.
