Julianna Gets Strapped.......Not the Bad Kind

Julianna is just growing up so quickly. She is already sitting by herself and whenever we go out she is hanging out of her pram smiling at strangers and just taking in the world. Since she has started to get a little more mobile I have decided that it is probably time she started to get strapped into her pram. I never bothered too much before because it was always such a pain and the odds of her going anywhere were minimal anyway. But with her new found fascination with the world I decided it was probably time.

So tonight as we got out of the car in the shopping centre carpark I put her in her pram and strapped in. Jonathan asked me what I was doing and the conversation went like this;

Jonathan: "Why are you strapping her in?"

Me: "Well since she is starting to hang over the edge I thought it was probably time she was strapped in. Besides, al the lady at the gym creche always straps her in and there was that lady on the news who strapped her baby in and it was lucky she did because her pram rolled off the train station platform and was hit by a train. If she hadn't strapped her baby in the baby would have come out of the pram and would be hit by the train. It saved the baby's life being strapped into the pram. Sometimes I feel like I'm being a bit lazy and neglectful by not strapping her in."

Jonathan: "Well, have you let her roll in front of any trains lately?"

Me: "No."

Jonathan: "Then I think you're doing just fine."

I love that I have such a practical husband to keep me balanced.
