Silly Me

So I thought when I spent $18,000 on a car seat for Porter that it could, you know, last him through his toddler years. I was actually impressed with myself for making this wise purchase.

I was wrong.

The car seat he’s been safe and sound in for the past 12 months is now no longer suitable for his 20lb-plus frame. I now must do RESEARCH and then SHOP for an APPROPRIATE car seat. I’m told these seats are more expensive, so anyone who owes me money (and you know who you are) cough now!

Congratulations on your Six Month Old

Me (holding a crying, angry Porter after receiving his panel of three shots): We need to make his next appointment.
Nurse: What age will he be? Nine months?
Porter: What the HELL woman! Can’t you read a chart?! Can you do simple math!? I’m 12 months now. In 3 months I’ll be 15 months. I’m PETITE for my age. This has saved my parents countless dollars and frustration as I am only now into my 9-12 month onsies. So SHUT IT!
Me: Yeah, he’ll be 15 months.
