My morning routine is growing more challenging by the day.
My main trouble is getting G in and out of her car seat. She is now at stage 2
of 4 of my state’s Child Passenger Safety Practices. Her forward-facing seat is
in the center of the backseat of my compact car. This is the only position that
allows her any kind of leg room. So getting her in and out is a bit tricky; I
either hit her or my head (or both) on the ceiling while lifting her in/out. Due
to my carpal tunnel I am wearing arm braces from mid palm to mid forearm. These
stabilize my wrists. Though they are needed, it has made this car seat task even
more difficult. I am short of breath, weak, and have no wrist flexibility. G
has showed tremendous patience as I fumble. Now that it’s getting cold and I
have less feeling in my hands buckling takes even longer. So this is what I propose:
1) we need to invest in a teleporter and hire a proper technician 2) get a
time machine so I can travel the roads before current laws mandated all these
contraptions 3) win the lottery and hire a driver/assistant 4) Get a bigger car…
hmmm not sure any of my solutions will be happening soon J Well we’ll have to
figure something out before the new one arrives!
I hate the contraptions now associated with having a baby; car seats have gotten to be ridiculous!!! Teleporter yes! Time machine yes! Lottery win and driver, oh, double yes! A bigger car is indeed necessary i'm afraid, and soon...
