I still bonk DS1 on the head sometimes getting in and out of the carseat. DS2 is in the capsule - so his head is safe for now! It's a shame you can't buy a rear facing seat for bigger kids. I know some people prefer to be able to have their kids front facing - it does make it easier to hand them milk arrowroot bikkies on long trips, but when you see the footage on youtube, it does make you think. Having the option would be nice - like you say grub, horses for courses.

Green - I took my enormous nappy/handbag to the supermarket and did a whole load of groceries and came to pay, but my wallet was still at home. So I raced home and raced back again and by the time i got home again, DS1 had fallen asleep in the car!! And once I drove off with the mail sitting on the roof of the car. And I used to the the organised unflustered type, now I'm just human!

I had a slighty funny/cute moment yesterday at my mother's group. The lady hosting it asked if she could give each of the kids a small easter egg - sure, no problem. She gave DS1 his egg and he popped it into the driver's seat of the car he was playing with and carried on playing. None of them could believe that he'd never had an easter egg before - and didn't know that 'foil wrapping' means chocolate inside!! Well, he knows now!! I'm not a mean old mummy - i just didn't see the point in having a big easter celebration when neither of the boys are old enough to care.
