Meet Big Blue

So guess what? WE GOT A SPECIAL CAR SEAT FOR CARTER FOR FREEEEE!!!!!!  Compliments of the Assistive Technology Lab, USU.  I love those people.  Can I just say, I LOVE those people? You know why we live where we live?  To be close to USU and the programs they offer to my children.

So, on a whim, I called the AT Lab and left a message about my situation.  I received a call back the very next day and set an appointment to come in with Carter and see what they had on hand or what they could work out.  When we got there, they had a brand new seat in storage that worked almost perfectly.  We did a little adjusting, lengthening straps, etc.  and got her installed.  Then we tried her out on Carter.  He loves his seat.  Every morning I tell him, "Ok, let's get in Big Blue!"  He says happily, "Bwoo!" and climbs right on in.  We named the seat Big Blue for two reasons.  First, its big. And blue.  Second, we got it from Utah State, whose Mascot is lovingly named "Big Blue".  Perfect.  Here's a picture.  We couldn't be happier.  Or safer.  And we keep the seat until Carter's grown out of it, and then we return it.  How freakin' awesome is THAT?!  See? Prayer works.  Pray, people.  Just pray. 

Ok, so I couldn't get it rotated the right way, but you get the idea.....
