I don' t know why this has happened to me TWICE in the last TWO months, but doesn't it just get "under your skin" when you come out and find THIS! Well, I ventured to the local toy store today to buy a gift for a birthday party this weekend and I come out of the store and I CAN'T GET INTO MY CAR! UGH! So just try and picture a screaming baby, a whiny toddler who didn't want to leave the toy store, and then myself, trying to figure how I can get into my car. Finally, I put Corbin in his seat, then I had to go through the passenger's seat to get to the driver's seat, then while Landon was waiting on the sidewalk, I backed out of the parking spot and then was able to get Landon in - can we all say WHEW! But, I could not just leave it like that ..........I had to write this PERSON a little note explaining what I had to do to get all of us into the car and how 'inconsiderate' he/she was to have parked sooooo CLOSE! It was NOT a nasty letter (WWJD?), but just like I am doing now - "painting a picture" of how I felt when I encountered this situation & what I had to do to fix it! I nicely signed the letter - "Thanks, Mother of Baby & Toddler." So for everyone out there, including myself, take a little look around when you pull into a parking spot and put yourself in their shoes & see if a "mom, baby, and toddler" can EASILY get back into their car! Thanks so much and we will ALL appreciate it! Pass it on!

I am so sorry you had to go through that AGAIN! How frustrating, especially when you have a hungry baby and a crying toddler. Hang in there...it does get easier. Before you know it, the boys will be able to get in the car all by themselves. I am laughing to myself, though, picturing you having to crawl through the passenger side to get to the driver's side. I know it probably wasn't funny at the time. Well, hopefully this will not happen again. Love ya lots!
