Having a Little Fun Figuring Things Out.

This morning I got up and decided there were some things that needed cleaned, organized and put together around the house.  I have only been up for an hour and a half and I have- cleaned the shower, taken a shower, done two loads of laundry, picked up the office, organized (well half organized) the finance book, cleaned up the coffee table, and my favorite....put the clean padding on the carseat! 
I was having a little trouble with the harnesses on the carseat, one was a bit looser than the other.  So I decided "I need a body in this thing".  I have my three favorite dolls from growing up, stuffed away in the guest closet: Baby, Kathryn That Can Walk (don't ask), and Rainbow Brite.  Since baby is about the size of a 3lb preemie I immediately knocked her out, Rainbow Brite is about the size of a 3 month old, so I thought she was too big.  It turns out that Kathryn That Can Walk is pretty close to a newborn size (probably about a 6 or 7 lb size (at least that is what I guessed).

I took K.T.C.W. and put her in the car seat.  With some menuevering and a lot of yanking and pulling I finally got the dang thing even and taught on both sides.  K.T.C.W looks so cute in the seat now!  I think I might just have to keep her in there for a while! hahaha!  Aaron will probably think this is creepy when he wakes up. oh well! hahaha

  1. haha, love it!! Great idea! We spent about an hour trying to fit Bella in a car seat that was just NOT meant for a newborn (even though it says 6lbs and up... ummm no it's not), and ended up leaving the hospital with a man-handled and angry child and an upset mother (ME!). So good for you for figuring this out now! PS. LOVE Rainbow Brite! :)
