Somebody is 8 years old today

My grand daughter turned eight years old.

It really came as no surprise since she had been giving us countdown updates several times day for the last week or so. She is not excited about the party or gifts she will receive, She is excited that according to Texas law, she will not need to sit in a child safety seat.

She is 4'2" so there is much discussion about the Texas regulations. The law recommends, no mandates, that children over 8 years who are less than 4'9" continue to use a child safety seat.

My only input to this is -- my car, my rules. Here's your safety seat.
