but because of height and weight restrictions I am required to put her in a car seat in some states. She's 4'1" and less than 50 pounds.........just like her mommy at that age :)

Well, on the bright side, it might just serve to drive home the "Nanny State as the Enemy" reality.

Sometimes when I have my four year old son in the back seat in his seat I wish I could let him ride up front. But, I also am grateful to know he's safer in the back even if he's there because the state says he must be.

I don't need that, but it is obvious others sure do.

My daughter's friend is over here a lot (my daughter is also over there alot) and I make sure there are all kinds of snacks in the house all the time.....9 times out of 10 they head for the fruit or celery and peanut butter, instead of the cookies . So when they want cookies or chips I don't say no.

We went to a U-Pick orchard 2 weeks ago (we were supposed to go back Friday but Ernesto had different plans for us) and after picking 10 pounds of blueberries, all those 2 8yos wanted to do was pick pears..............the 2 year old was content squishing blueberries and the other mom wanted apples. We had an hour ride home, and between the 2 oldest they ate nearly every pear they picked.

And people wonder why I am concerned about the nanny-state? I DON'T NEED IT.
