This morning we were up, had the car packed, had breakfast and were on the road by 930. Our first stop was on I95 at 945. Yes, Emma had had enough of the car and her carseat. I don't blame her one bit. She's facing backwards, has no interaction other than the same dumb stuffed toys she's been staring at for two straight days and she's exhausted. So, what did we do? We stopped to change her diaper and top her off with an extra bottle. She ended up passing out for an hour before we had to stop again. Four and a half hours later with me in the back wedged in between the two carseats holding both of their hands we got back home.
But, I do have to say it was better than me reaching back into Emma's carseat and Lily and I got to have some great conversations.
One conversation was about the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel. We talked all about tunnels and bridges but it only lasted maybe 5-10 minutes along with me pointing things out along the way.
When we got home we unpacked the car and Lily got right to work with her blocks. Mike and I didn't pay much attention to her since we were busy unpacking suitcases, cleaning out the car and feeding Emma. All of a sudden Mike called me in to look what Lily had done with her blocks.
Lily built a tunnel!
And, a pretty impressive tunnel too!
We're not sure how she got this concept after such a short conversation let alone the design of the tunnel but she nailed it!
Way to Go Lily!
