forward thinking

Now that Mr. K is old enough and big enough, we were able to turn his car seat from rear-facing to forward-facing*. This is very cool because not only can we see him without resorting to a David Copperfield-worthy series of mirrors, but he can see us, and where we're going. His backseat chatter has increased considerably, now that he can comment on things that aren't moving backwards. Furthermore, having him face the front makes it a helluva lot easier to pass him snacks, toys, or high-fives.



*In the interest of full disclosure, we were "allowed" to do this right after his first birthday, but didn't get around to it until about a week ago. All just a part of the grand conspiracy of lazy parents to keep the boy down, I'm sure.
