This made me laugh and I figured only you guys would understand. lol
We are arranging to see the great grandparents tomorrow night for Halloween. They live less than a half a mile apart... so I asked whether Paternal grandma wanted to meet at Maternal grandparents house or if we should come to hers seperately. They are good friends, both come to the other's Christmas parties, ect.
She said: "Hi Chelsae....That's fine. Whatever is best for you. Especially if it's easier for you to just take the girls out of the car once, I can meet you.
Chelsae....I want to do what's easiest for you. It would be nice for the girls to become familiar with my home but I've had little children so I know it can be trying to get them in and out of the car....especially with seat belts."
I sat there for a minute... like huh?! I was like... with seatbelts as opposed to not using seatbelts?
Then it occured to me that she is almost 80, there is a good chance they didn't have seatbelts when she had little kids. I know my 96 year old Grandpa had to have them installed in his car.
This Grandmother also had some pretty outdated notions about Down syndrome I have had to work to correct... hopefully that won't be a problem this time.
But, either way it made me laugh.
I'm just going to go to her house seperately. My girls climb in and out on their own so it's not too big of a deal to just buckle them in twice. :thumbsup:
