See this little red vest thing? It is called a Baby B'Air. It is designed to keep lap riders in airplanes safe. You strap the baby into it and attach it to your lap belt. Why is this important? Let me share a story with you. The summer before last Chris and I took Levi with us for a long weekend in the mountains. We flew into Denver and then took a little prop plane to Steamboat Springs (which incidentally is where Chris asked me to marry him) Levi wasn't yet 2 years old and could have flown for free, but being the wriggly toddler he was we bought him a seat and strapped him in his carseat during the flights. On the way back on the prop plane we ran into a thunderstorm. Suddenly, lightining struck our plane and it lurched violently. I remember watching, as if in slow motion, the toddler girl on the lap of a woman several rows in front of us. She flew out of her mothers arms and crashed head first into the overhead bin. Levi, who was strapped in, looked mildly surprised and went back to watching a movie. The poor little girl wasn't badly hurt but she did have a nasty goose-egg on her head and was scared to death. Her parents looked positively green with fear. When I bring PBJ home she will be a lap rider. A safe lap rider. These little vests are not expensive and yet could be the most important thing I have purchased for her.
Now that my service announcement is over, we return to our regularly scheduled events. Willing the phone to ring........RING!!!!!
