It seems like all of the sudden, Gav grew out of his car seat within the past two weeks. Buckling him in with his coat on was becoming near impossible and his movement was very constrained. (Think the kid in A Christmas Story who is so bundled up he can't get off the ground to get the idea.)
Friday night I took him to pick out his new booster seat and we really lucked out. The one we wanted was on clearance so we were able to buy two for the price of one. We swapped Owen's old one for the car seat in David's car and put the two new ones in the van so as to eliminate any sibling bickering over why they are different.
Gav tried out his new seat today and loved it just in case the big smile doesn't give it away. He's certainly becoming a big kid lately. I don't even know the last time he had an accident in his big boy pants. Yesterday was his buddy Kamari's birthday party and it took Gav only a few minutes to warm up to all of the strangers, then he was off to chase balloons and jump in the Spiderman bounce house. While I love his new independence, it makes me a little sappy to know he's getting so big.
