Both girls like to mess with things. They aren't particular about what their messing with either. It could be a chair, a book, my face while I'm trying to read, something I've specifically said to not touch, buttons, et cetera.
Today their daycare was closed so I stayed home most of the day and had Zoee come over for 3 hours to watch them so I could go to the office for awhile. After I left work, we dropped Zoee off and went to the store to find Lucy's Halloween costume.
I pulled out of the driveway and went to the gas station to fill up (6 miles to empty! Ooooops). The traffic was bad at that intersection so I went back up the road, past our house and out to the main highway from there. I was going very slow through the residential area and past the two schools. I stopped at the traffic light and waited for green.
The giggling in the backseat probably should have tipped me off, but it didn't.
Light turned green.
I stepped on the gas and made a quick left turn.
I hear a noise. A scream. A giggle. A "MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAA"
Oh shit.
At some point, unbeknownst to me, Lucy had unbuckled the seat-belt that holds her car-seat in place. Not only was it unbuckled, her car-seat was just sitting on the back seat not attached to anything.
Just one step closer to Mother of the Year (MOTY).
Please send her over, i need to remove our carseat tomorrow to vacuum the car and I CANNOT unbuckle that sucker without a major struggle!
ReplyDeleteHA!! I can unbuckle it but I have no explanation for how the seatbelt came OUT from behind the carseat?! It terrifies me to think how long it could have been unbuckled. o.O
