Getting Big!

I don't know why, but Abby's been feeling the need to remind me of all the things she's "Getting too big" for, even if she hasn't used them in months (booster seats at restaurants, for example - I can't remember the last time I asked for one for her, but she keeps reminding me that she's "too big" for them now).

Yesterday as we were getting into the car, I went to lift her up into the carseat and she yelled, "WAIT! I CAN DO IT!"

And, by golly, she could.

Since the rule of thumb for moving kids to a booster seat seems to be "4 & 40" (four years old and forty pounds) and when their shoulders are level or higher than the straps in the carseat, it looks like this time next year we'll be past the carseat stage. :)
