This Morning

On our way to school everyday, Caleb and I sing songs, play games, count, say our ABC's...just have fun! I like to use this time as a big educational time. I figure that I've got him as a captive audience, so I use that time to my advantage. Many of the things he has learned so far have been things that I have taught him in the car on the way to school.

This morning, we were playing a game with a bracelet that we had left in the car from Wednesday night. I would put the bracelet on my head and ask "Does the bracelet go on my head?" Caleb would respond with "Noooo!" I then put the bracelet on my leg, on my hear, on my nose, on my chin, on my shoulder, on the steering wheel...you get the picture. Then when I finally put it on my arm, he would say "Yesss!" It's a pretty fun game! :)

The funny thing was that while we were sitting at a stop light on 78, a truck full of lawn workers was next to us. I didn't realize they were there as I was playing my silly game. So after I had put the bracelet on my nose, I saw some movement in the car next to me. I looked over and the whole truck of men was laughing at me. I just smiled at them and kept playing the game. I'm glad I could give them some entertainment on their way to work! Just one silly mommy entertaining her kid on the way to school!

I Did It Again

Last night, I walked out of Kroger and could not find my car. Within a split second, I thought: "Someone has stolen my car! What am I going to do? Chris is gone tonight. I'm going to have to call my parents. How did someone steal my car? " Then finally I looked back one more row, and there was my car!

Isn't that one of the worst feelings in the world? Come on, you've got to admit you've done it. I'm not the only one out there. It kind of makes me feel crazy each time I do it. Not that I do it all of the time. Maybe only once every couple of years or so. So that's not too bad.
