Oh the holidays. A time for giving. A time for love. A time for an insane amount of time spent shoved in a car with our toddler.
Today we are on our way to my in-laws family dinner. It is always one of my favourite gatherings of the holidays. No one can put on a meal quite like a family of farmers. Plus there is a rubber chicken involved….I’ll have to post Instagram photos to explain that one….
One thing I do love about driving with Lilly, is that it really gives her an uninterrupted time to explore her imagination. We hit the highway and she turned into a very creative backseat driver…
Lilly: “Mommy!! Go faster! Drive faster!“
Mommy: (little confused, especially since I’m not even driving) “Go faster? Why do we need to go faster?“
Lilly: “The monster is coming! Faster Daddy, faster!“
Mommy: “A monster? Oh no! Are you going to protect us?!“
Lilly: “Yeah. But go faster!“
Mommy: “Thank you for protecting us. But honey we can’t go faster. There are cars in front of us and we don’t want to get in trouble.“
Lilly: “The monster is coming!!” (She is very insistent on this point) “You go faster now!“
Mommy: “Honey can you show me the monster? Where is he?“
Lilly: (looking around) “Um, I dunno. Oh, he’s gone Mommy.“
Yeah, that’s what I thought. So we won’t be breaking any speed limits today to avoid the grasps of monsters. We are safe for now.
Although we may have a monster on our hands of this little lady doesn’t get some sleep on the way down. Oh the holidays!
