You just can't understand the joy that I feel right now!  This has been a long time waiting and for them to pass a booster law is just phenomenal!!!!  The governor needs to sign the bill, but from our understanding, he will.  Show your support tim.pawlenty@state.mn.us!!!  Even if you aren't a resident of Minnesota, show your support for your friends children, relatives, etc etc.  Such an amazing milestone in Minnesota!  No more 4 year olds LEGALLY riding in seatbelts!!  I don't know ONE 4 year old that can fit properly in a seatbelt, so this is a HUGE deal.

I was literally in tears reading about this this morning.  What a WONDERFUL email to wake up too!  I want to applaud the CPS advocates that have been working on this so diligently the past few years!  8 years old AND 4'9" to be out of a booster...that is FANTASTIC news!!!
