Sweetie and the Car Seat

As many of you know, Rebecca has never liked being in her car seat, and driving anywhere with her has not been fun. I still have to sit beside her and shake her arm to help her not get so stiff and agitated, but even that does not always work. It's a good thing that you can get anywhere in 10 minutes in Yellowknife. As I was mentioning in a previous post from last week, Rebecca's O.T brought over a massager called the Thumper for us to try out and see if it helps Sweetie sit in her Kimba seat longer. It's really helped her in her Kimba seat, so a few days ago I brought her car seat inside to see how successful the Thumper would be in getting her to not be agitated in her car seat. Check out this video of her without and then with the massager in her car seat. We plan on buying the Thumper since it's helped Sweetie so much, and we want to buy an inverter at Canadian Tire so that we can plug the massager into the vehicle if we ever go on a road trip. Road trip, with Sweetie? Impossible, you say?? With the Thumper, this may be possible. YAY for Thumper!

What about us in Maple Creek on your way back home? Might as well make a big loop if the trip is going well with Thumper?!
