In Florida

On Tuesday, after a late start thanks to my car (which left us stranded on Saturday when the key wouldn't turn in the ignition. It finally was fixed by Tuesday afternoon), we headed down to my parents house in Florida. The trip was pretty uneventful, interupted only once with a little temper tantrum from our little red head. We had stopped for dinner and when we were getting back in the car, Grace marched right over to the driver's side door and announced "I drive." We have no idea where this came from but she was insistent and more than disappointed when we turned her offer down. She did finally calm down and actually slept a little in the car.

When we got here, Grace was excited to see that her Nana had a surprise for her- a table and chairs just her size. Grace sat in one seat and pointed to the other and said "for Bella, I call her." Nevermind that it was 1am and Bella is 7 months old, Grace was excited to call her cousin and tell her about her new chair. I can't wait until Isabella gets here and Grace tries to get her to sit in the chair....

She looks like she should have a little umbrella drink in her hand! How cute!
And you will have to share any car ride tricks you have - you are the Olympians of toddler travel....
