An amusing note..

As we went outside this morning to go to tumbling, I saw that we had forgotten to get the car seat from Mark's car, and he was gone. Tumbling is a very short distance away, so I made the executive decision to buckle her in carseat-less. I told her, "Im going to buckle you in really good without your carseat just this once, but it's not something we should do if we don't have to." Implying that this was a clandestine operation, sort-of.

So of course she goes tear-ass running in to tumbling and announces to the coach, and all the parents "Nell forgot my CARSEAT!! I got to ride in the car without my CARSEAT!!!". Lordy, lordy. There are no secrets with a 5 year old.

Between tumbling and massive errand running I managed to hook up with Mark and get the carseat, so all was well for the rest of the day. I just thought that was funny.
