We finally picked up Rachel's NEW CAR SEAT today! This is the seat that will last her until she's 8 years old and no longer needs a seat. It converts to a booster, which is why we'll be able to keep it so much longer.
It felt like a milestone, so I told Rachel to say, "bye-bye baby car seat!" several times. On the way home she chattered away to herself and a couple of times broke into what I call the "chicken song." It's composed of Rachel tunelessly humming, "backa ba, backa ba, backa backa backa backa backa ba...." which sounds to me like a chicken!
She now has a repertoire of songs she loves Mommy to sing. On the way to the car seat place she requested, "sunshine," and "fly away." And at naptime she wanted "yellow submarine" but that is a daddy song. Clearly I need to figure out the songs Drew sings and learn the words. On the other hand, it may be better if only he can sing them, since that gives her something to look forward to when he comes home to visit.
By the way, we're holding onto to the old car seat just in case...:)
