Joe's New Car Seat

Given that we are raising a giant, we thought it was time to invest in a new car seat. We've been having an increasingly hard time getting Joe buckled into his cowmooflage car seat, so yesterday, Julie and Clara picked up a convertible and booster car seat combo that got good reviews online from the parents of other giants. It also has a cup holder which is pretty awesome as it means Joe will no longer have to wedge his straw cup next to him when snacking on the go, and when he wants water on the way home from daycare, Julie won't have to crane her arm back over the seat to hand it to him. Less awesome will be if his current straw cups do not fit in this cup holder (a point which will be tested tomorrow).

Joe's new friend pictured here is Pan-a Bear (sometimes Polar Bear), a gift from Grandpa Charles who went to the San Diego Zoo recently when he accompanied Grandma Connie on a business trip to San Diego. Pan-a Bear has been making the ride to school of late, but "no no toys at school."
