Safety Patrol


Tyler has always been one to be safe and cautious. He does not like it if Carter has a toy in his mouth, because it could hurt him. He gets very upset if we act like we may leave him when we are going somewhere, or even if we would leave Carter. He is especially very safe in the car. He will tell us how we need to drive safe and not to fast or we will get a ticket. He will also let us know at least once on every car ride that he isn't tight enough in his carseat. The other day I stopped in our driveway and got out of the car real quick to help open the garage door. When I got back in I didn't put my seatbelt back on. Both Tyler and Carter told me right away that I wasn't being safe. The biggest part of the safety patrol is something both boys do - Carter learned it from Tyler. Whenever they see someone on a motorcycle or a bicycle they will look to see if they have a helmet on or not. They will then let us know if the rider is being safe or not. It has almost become a race to who can find the biker the quickest and let us know if they are safe or not.

You make them sound like a couple of ninnies. Can't you at least mention that being safety conscious does not stop them from hitting each other with sticks and throwing rocks at each others' heads?

by the way, Justin said that, not Meredith.
