We went to Warwick to go shopping for new shoes for Madelyn yesterday. On our way back to the car, Jameson told me (while pointing at a Lexus) that he wanted THAT car; not our red car. Our car is too dirty. So, I told him that maybe sometime we would go to the car wash.
We finished up our errands and I told the kids that we were all done, time to go home. Jameson, in his most pitiful voice from the back seat said, "Mom, you told me car wash today." (I most certainly did not say anything about today.) So, I made a u-turn and drove back to the car wash at the gas station. What can I say, I'm a sucker for that sad, pleading face he puts on. Just don't tell him that! It cost me $6 and took about three minutes to get my car washed, but the effect on the kids was absolutely priceless.
Jameson was just thrilled. I should have unbuckled his car seat and let him bounce around the car. He was squealing with delight and wiggling all over the place trying to get a better look at the brushes out the windows. Madelyn was a bit apprehensive at first, but took cues from her brother and was clapping, smiling, and giggling in no time. I really love being their mom.
