Combine an obsession with space and astronomy (Nate), a serious competitive streak between two brothers, a 2 year old who wants to do EVERYTHING his brother does, and add in what must occasionally seem to a toddler like the longest 20 minute drive ever, and you get...
Find The Moon!
About once a month, the boys and I have the opportunity to play this awesome game as we drive to work in the morning.
About once a month, the boys and I have the opportunity to play this awesome game as we drive to work in the morning.
Only on those mornings when the moon is full (or nearly full), it hangs in the western sky, just as we are on the road. Even better, our route in the morning takes us from northbound to westbound, to southbound. We even go eastbound on the mornings we are going to my parents' house. So, as we wind and turn our way to our destination, the moon makes an appearance out first one boy's window, then the other, then out the front windshield. It seems silly, and it really is, but the boys get a big kick out of finding it:
"I see the moon!"
"It's out my window!"
"Now it's out my window!"
"It's in front of us!"
"Where is the moon, Mommy?"
"I can't see the moon..."
