The boys have a new car with a back seat (sort of). It has a pull down trunk you can sit on. Of course, it's the hot toy right now. But fortunately the boys are learning to share and take turns. Andrew was heading toward the car, when Nathan spotted him moving in that direction. I think he keeps one eye on his brother at all times. Nathan made a dash for the car and cut Andrew off, jumped into the car, slammed the door shut and said, "Nathan's turn." Andrew just shrugged and sat in the trunk. I thought of intervening for the sake of fairness, but thought better of it. Every week that passes with Andrew thinking that Nathan knows who's turn it is, is a week of peace and harmony. The video you would love to see is Gramma and Grampa "motorizing" their cars around the house with races and surprises. The boys have no idea we are tall enough to see across the counters and know where the other car is lurking. But since there was no one to man the camera it can only exist in our memories. And the fun doubled when Uncle Matt came and rode in the back seat. Or at least his head did.
Drivers, start your engines!
By the way, Gramma has a new car, too. Mine's on loan. Grampa didn't zig when the road did. So now my car's getting a new front end. I'm just so glad it wasn't me. I have enough new front ends to my credit. I don't think their parents will let us teach the boys to drive.
I'm glad Nathan and Andrew aren't afraid of bugs. But I will have to keep a close eye on them this summer. I already have to try to keep Rebecca's cat from trying to eat dangerous bugs like bees. Of course, their mother is a veterinarian. The critter world is calling to them..
There are no free rides at Gramma's. Even the little people have to pitch in with the work.
And Gramma is teaching us to give serious thought to our sense of fashion.
