    Glad to hear that things are working out well....despite the odd comments and behaviours from time to time haha. One of the things I like about this job is seeing the different types of parents even if some of them make me shake my head and go "WTF??" lol.

    I have a child who also only wears a few outfits to dc. Dad gets her dressed in the mornings and drops off and mom picks up. Mom has told me that she folds all the clothes that are outfits and puts them in one drawer and than all the other clothes that aren't matching outfits get hang up or in drawers. Dad has no fashion sense so he just picks a matching outfit and there are only a handful of them LOL I can always tell when mom dressed her because she comes in clothes I haven't seen her in. Mom and I laugh about this often.

    For the car seats, it must be confusing for a parent too because it seems like the laws and regulations change a bit from time to time. Also, you read one article that says rear facing until they are older is better than switching too early because broken legs are better than brain damage but than you read another article that says to switch to forward facing when they reach the right height and weight. I don't keep that up to date on the car seats because we don't go out often anymore but when we do they are all forward facing. My friend's husband is a firefighter so she usually keeps me informed if there is a major change I need to know about or if I have a question.

    Confusing for sure but it's not the case for these guys. It's one thing to look into things and be overwhelmed or confused by conflicting info but these guys haven't even given it a thought and have no problem telling me so either :-/
