Milestone

We did it. We turned Little Guy's car seat around; he's now front-facing. Oh how I agonized over this! All the research now states how much safer children are rear-facing, but he was up against the top limit for his car seat, and it's not in the budget to go buy 2 new seats to keep him rear-facing for 5 more pounds. He went for 22 1/2 months, which is 10 months longer than a lot of children.
He seems to enjoy it so far, lots of commenting on the view he sees. What a change to see things coming toward you rather than away!
