A month ago we went down to one car. This means Heather drives me to work each morning with Connor (3yo), and Jack (9mo). Yesterday when we were almost at the end of our 12-15 minute journey Connor beginns frantically yelling, “DINK! DINK! DINK!”
At that point I realize that we just drove past the gas station that I normally stop to purchase a daily dosage of Big Red. Usually when I’m saying goodbye to Connor through a rolled down backseat window he will ask me for a few sips from my huge fountain drink before I head into the office in attempts to take over the dental marketing world one website at a time.
It’s hilarious what this kid picks up on, and how our children pick up on a daily routine in their lives.
I hate daylight savings time. There doesn’t really seem to be a reason to have it anymore. With little kids it becomes much more annoying than anything else. Babies and toddlers don’t really understand that they get to sleep longer. Kids wake up when they wake up. So that means I end up waking up an hour earlier for a good two weeks until my kids finally adjust. So anyways…
We are now down to one car, so Heather drives me to work every morning and ends up coming to pick me up from work in the evening. Thanks to daylight savings time it’s already dark or starting to get dark as we are driving home. So now our entire ride home Connor is gazing out the window and will yell out, “Daaa!” and continues repeating it until I respond, “What Connor?” Then he will point and say, “BOON!” or “DAR!” Then I will say, “Yeah, I see it, it’s the MOOOOON!” or “Yeah, thats right it’s a STAAAR!” Just for him to be silent for a few seconds and then blurt out, “Daaaa!” all over again.
