Seat Belt Debacle

Here’s the follow-up to our seat belt debacle. Bubba has stayed put this week but that is because I pulled out an old 5 point harness car seat and, to quote him, “I can’t push the button!”. OH YEAH!

Still, this is not a long term solution. Thankfully, my dear friend Julie came to the rescue with just enough information to be dangerous (I mean helpful). She emailed and said that her son (she has two on the spectrum and is a well of knowledge, help and encouragement) used to take the seat belt off on the bus and the school district used a lock that was the size of a deck of cards – maybe I could look into that. !?! So, I did what any woman in 2010 would do – I googled “seat belt lock box” and found the answer.

This little ditty fits over the seat belt and blocks the button so a child can’t “escape”. In the case of an emergency there is an easy removal “thingy” so it’s safe. Ours will be here within a week. Hallelujah!

Easter

Our Easter was . . . unique. I have pictures but the camera is downstairs and I am definitely NOT walking down there right now. I am not sure I’ll make it to bed from here, much less downstairs! Anyway, while taking photos on the front porch, Kb and Bubba broke loose and started running around. Bubs pushed KB and she fell head first into the wooden porch. The next hour was spent watching her eyes, asking if she knew our names, and waiting for her head to spin around and puke to fly everywhere. She is fine, needless to say, and we headed to church at 10:40AM. (More later, when I have the photos.)

At some point today I made pretty paper. Thought I would share this new to-do list.

Isnt’ it sooo cute??

Disney On Ice

Last weekend we took Little and Bubba to see Disney on Ice. I don’t know what possessed us to do it – I think I wanted to feel normal with my kids. We had a super time. God is good.

I must say, we probably could have saved the money on the show and just ridden the Metrolink downtown and back. Both children LOVED the train!


I had the privilege of sitting with Bubs and receiving a play-by-play of every moment of the trip. “We’re going into a tunnel.” “The train is passing a building.” “There’s lights.” It was GREAT!

The kids did a good job sitting still. They did NOT like cotton candy and would have preferred to watch the jumbo tron over the skaters.

Daddy didn’t mind “having” to hold Little so she could see.

Mickey came out and my son said, “It’s Hot Dog!”

We made it through until just before the last song. We had agreed that the minute it looked like we were losing one of them, we would exit and head home. It was good plan and allowed the day to be a happy memory from start to finish.

C You Real Soon!
Y? Because we like you
