Almost 25 years to the day since I learned my pregnancy had ended... there's a baby seat in the back of our car.
(Don't think THAT doesn't give me pause...!)
It's actually a toddler seat. Guess whose?
SIL is taking BIL to a medical appointment early on Tuesday afternoon, and they have to leave around noon -- which is when Little Great-Nephew gets out of day camp. (He's going two mornings a week for the month of August. He calls it "school." Okay, buddy, if you say so...!) So guess who has been designated to pick him up?
Of course, we do not have the mandatory kiddie car seat -- but BIL had just bought him a new one, since he's pretty much outgrown the one they have right now. So when we were over there earlier today, we installed the new seat in our car for this specific purpose. (Dh & BIL took him on a quick trip to Home Depot after it was installed -- and then to Dairy Queen, lol -- so he's already tried it out, lol.) We'll be picking him up at the community centre where the day camp is (picking up a child -- another first for us!), picking up some lunch, taking him back to his grandparents' house and then staying with him until they return, later in the afternoon.
It's very strange.
I've occasionally had to have a child seat in our car over the years. It is indeed very strange. It's strange, surreal even. But it's temporary. (Of course, I know it's temporary even for parents, but you know what I mean.) So many emotions. Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be so weird. I agree, so many emotions. Glad you get to spend so much time with LGN though!
ReplyDeleteVery strange, indeed.
ReplyDeleteIt brings a smile to my face, imagining you and DH looking over your shoulders into the back seat, smiling, on your way to Hope Depot, DQ, and from "school." :-)
(Mixed feelings around the loss of Katie, for sure.)
