A few weeks ago we went on a little road trip...the kids are both excellent riders in the car now. I thought I would never be able to say that about James...just 6 months ago he screamed when we buckled him in and didn't stop until we un-buckled him! Something changed and he suddenly loves car rides and sits quite happily! Elsie has always been a perfect little rider...she is happy to talk to herself or just colour in her colouring books...
*please note that we were stopped in this picture! We do buckle out children in when we drive!
We discovered that Droids are not just good at keeping adults busy in the car while while traveling! We downloaded "Talking Tom" and "Talking Ben"...and they keep the kids happy for a ridiculously long time! Even James sits and giggles at them...
Anytime you have a pink bedazzled phone it will make you happy!
Soon it was time to get buckled up and hit the road again...crying followed as soon as James realized that it was Elsie's turn to use the phone! All was good again when we gave him coloured pencils, a notebook and a big green frog. And it made him happy that he could still hear the phone...so every now and then he would break out in big fakey laughs over what he heard on the phone!
I got bored because Jon insisted on driving because "he is the male and it the males job to drive" {whatever!} so I convinced the kids it was mommy's turn to use the phone. Thank goodness for Ramona and Beezus and a dvd player!
