So today Ira went out on her maiden car trip without mamma. We often wake up early morning and go down for a walk, Ira, Ria and I. Didi cycles while Ira watches from her perch. After our customary 4 rounds Ria wanted to go get some ice cream. So we came up got some cash, the driving license and the car seat for Ira and headed off. This was the first time that Ira travelled in her new car seat which Didi has so graciously given to her (it was earlier Rias’). We went to the Baskin Robins near home first as I wasn’t sure how long the peace in the rear seat would last. Then since it was closed we went to the next one about 7km away. Still no luck so we were heading off to Mac donalds when I spotted the Birdys’ shop which was open. Given a choice Ria wanted cake shop over MacD. Finished off a slice of pineapple pastry on her own (she does love a good bakery). By the time Ria was done Ira was getting cranky so we quickly paid the bill, picked up a couple of brownies for home and came back.
Looks like Ira will be comfortable in her car seat just like didi used to be and we can do this more often…. the trips without disturbing mamma when she’s sleeping in the morning.

The music was didis’ choice …very confidently madam settles into the passenger seat picks up the one CD that’s lying around and pops it into the player… “We be veterans, welcome to the ride Ira!”
