So tonight when I was picking Austin up from baseball practice (he just turned 9yo yesterday) I had all the windows rolled half way down in my truck. When I walked over to get him he came up to me and said "mom, can you please go roll my window up". I was confused and asked him why. He quietly told me that he didn't want anyone to know he was still in a booster. We have very dark tinted windows so with them up it's very hard to see inside. Then he asked me when he could stop using one. I told him it would be a very long time yet as he is no where near 4'9" or 5-stepping in either one of our vehicles. I understand how he feels and it makes me sad for him but I have to do what is right for his safety. I told him we would try going backless again (didn't work out to well last time cause every time he fell asleep he would fall out of the seat belt) and he felt a little better. It's so hard when just about every single one of his friends isn't in a booster any more and then kids can be so mean and tease the ones that are still in them.
