Preston is Really a Big Boy

I had to do it.  I broke down.  My child is almost five. One thing that we LP parents know is to treat your child like their age, not their size.  Achon kids have average size torsos, so height requirements on car seats and boosters are a tad skewed. Technically when sitting Pres is the same height as his peers, and because his height genes are the way they are, his torso is even a tad longer than some of his peers.  So it was time. 

And of course I rattled off a very nervous text to Emily who assured me she felt the same way when Seamus was in a booster.  You are apprehensive.  I mean first of all it’s not bolted to the car and second he is now against the door as opposed to the middle seat.  Obviously he is happy as a clam because upon arriving at our destination he unlatches himself and opens the door.  Although I sound like a ride at Busch Gardens telling him to sit down, keep his arms inside the vehicle and the seatbelt latched fully until the car comes to a complete stop.  And because I still have not downloaded the New York pictures from my parents’ camera too, I leave you with some more Preston shots.

Pres just LOVES Barnes and Noble.  But I will share with you that he calls it, “Barnes and No-Balls”  Which is completely hilarious to me (and Aunt Tinka).

 

And how cool is this truck from Uncle Charlie?
