Trick or Treat?

It looks like a treat...but upon closer inspection, Jonah and I figured out we had been tricked!

Don't these look like such cute monkeys? They looked like so much fun...
But look at what they really are! Harnesses! Mommy got them (even though she swore she'd never, ever do this) after I have gotten away from her in a couple of parking lots and on a very busy street. It scared her and pulling out the stroller is great for long trips but she's been struggling on the short trips. Like from the car into church. Or from the car into the grocery store. So this is her solution. To her amazement, she is giddy with happiness. She can now safely get me out of the car and while she is unloading Jonah, she knows I'm safe without having to literally pin me to the car with her body.
Allow Jonah to demonstrate. So it was a treat for Mommy...but we've been tricked!

oh sweety thank you for this. I've worried about this with you and the boys. you have no idea how much these buggers helped me with dragonboy and blueyedpixie when they were younger. There 17 months between them and at times I thought I was gonna lose it trying to capture them both.
The boys will thank you later I'm sure. Hugs..hope you are surviving your 1st of three weeks.

These are great! I have thought of getting one of these for little T many times. I am sure that they will give you a peace of mind knowing the boys are not escaping you. And, oh so cute to carry a Monkey on your back. Love them!
