Wesley has traded in his old car seat for a brand new booster seat. He is so excited that I can’t put it into words. And when he found out it had not one, but two cup holders, he was bouncing off the walls. As soon as it arrived he was literally ripping the box apart with his bare hands and when I got home from work we had to install it right away. Once installed we he wouldn’t get out of it until he had a chance to test it out on a real car ride. It is wonderful how simple things can make a child so happy.
