Just for the heck of it, I weighed my 7.5yo a few minutes ago- SHE GAINED WEIGHT!! She's now 45lbs with jeans and a l/s shirt on!! I can't believe it. She's been 41lbs fully dressed for sooo long. A year or more. I noticed that she's taller, and hoped hoped hoped that she'd gained a pound. Woo Hoo!

She really really wants to ride in a booster full time. SHe's started complaining about the Regent's straps by her neck (not as bad as the Radian, but she does have some sensory issues, so I'm never sure what's coming next with this child) and that she really likes the headwings on the Vivo and Parkway to rest her head against. I was very hesitant to let her ride in the boosters full-time at 41lbs fully dressed with sneakers, but now at 45lbs and bare feet, I'm feeling so much better. Isn't that dumb? :eek:

Anyway, just had to share. Weight gain is a big thing around our house :D

It's not dumb. LOL.

Especially given the study showing that lighter boostered children are more likely to submarine than heavier boostered children. I would be rejoicing :D

I don't think I'm going to have any trouble in this department. My 3 year old is nearly 39 pounds :rolleyes:

Hey, let's hear for the traditional Post-Holidays weight gain in a positive light :thumbsup:

I bet she'll feel relieved knowing she's no longer the same weight as my 4 year old dd. :D
