I never knew how exciting a 15 minute commute could be until I had kids with me in the car. Something about being in the car makes Eliza ask really deep questions. The other day she blurted out, "Is it true that everyone dies?" I almost choked. She also asked last week why we have crosses all over town when Jesus died on a cross. I said something about to remind us how much he loves us but confirmed that it is a bit weird. If someone I loved was killed by a gun, I wouldn't wear a gun around my neck, right?
Ezra gets very excited in the car now that he's forward facing. He points out every truck and bus he sees. "Whoa, BUS!!!" Granted we pass about 50 in 15 minutes but he never loses his excitement. I told Scott I think this is how Ezra is going to learn his colors. I try to point out the color of the bus or truck now.
Ezra has also finally gotten excited about books. I've definitely felt some second kid guilt over my lack of reading to him. We've read 3 books to Eliza every night since she was tiny. And we've certainly tried to do the same with Ezra, but he usually won't sit still for more than 30 seconds and runs off mid book. So, I hadn't been trying as much lately. But, in the last week or so he's started climbing into his bed, pointing at his book shelf, saying book and patting his pillow so I'll come get in bed with him and read. And he can finally make it through 3 or 4 books in a row without running away. He definitely prefers books about automobiles, bugs and animals.
