Tales from Toddlerhood: The Book-Car Chronicles

My daughter is 3 years old. She is driving around the house the whole day. She is using a book as the steering wheel.

It’s 7:30 pm. It’s bedtime. She drives and parks her car – the book – on the floor next to the bed.

I read The Gruffalo – her favorite book – to her. I tack her into bed. I sleep next to her and tap her back. Shhh she is sleeping.

I get up and kick the book off the floor. My daughter instantly gets up. She says,” Daddy pick my car – the book – and park it where I left it”.

Yes, Madam.
