Several years ago the car seat laws in California were increased to maximize the safety of our children. We, as Rodericks, try to follow the laws that govern us, thus, we purchased a new car seat for Hope. What we did not factor into the equation was that another Roderick daughter was also under the new car seat regulations.
The girls woke early, once again, on Christmas morning. We desire to see our happy children, on that blessed day, dancing down the stairs with twinkling eyes, wide yawns and stringy hair. We must burn the images into our minds as well as on celluloid. They are not permitted to come out of their rooms until we have the living room perfect. Christmas lights on, Mom has her coffee and is positioned on the couch, Dad has camera ready, Christmas music playing softly in the background. The stage is set. Action.
The girls walk down the stairs, youngest to oldest, searching for their pile of loot. Two car seats set under the tree with big, red velvet bows.
Merry Christmas. Hope and Addison were not amused.
