Driving Miss Daisy

G has taken a keen interest in "driving" my car whenever we are out and about.  Depending on if we are in a hurry, I will either let him "drive" for a few minutes before we leave for our destination or after we are done and are headed back home.

He loves to fiddle with the air conditioner, radio, and windshield wipers and always grabs my chapstick that I keep in the middle console and asks to have some on.  Whenever I ask if he is ready to get in his seat, he will always look at me, shake his head, and say very clearly, "No."  Then I will tell him, "Okay, one more minute!," and he will hold up one finger like I do and mimic me in his baby talk.  Funny boy!  He is always good about going back in his seat and doesn't throw a tantrum if I give him that extra minute.  :)

Lately it's given me a chance to cool down the car before I have to put him in his black padded car seat (90º temps in April?!?).  It's comfortable but it gets h.o.t in the Texas sun!  I've started researching different car seat covers, but most reviewers say that a towel or blanket works just as well and is much easier.

Now if we could only make him a true designated driver... ;)
