We just returned home from a quick weekend trip to Canada for a birthday party and grandparent visits. A bit of a whirlwind, we were sure that both kids would fall asleep in the car. Graeme was out within the first 10 minutes, but Gavin lasted at least an hour before he nodded off. In order to keep himself awake, he was extremely chatty. It started when we were crossing through the border. Here's a snip:
"I am picking my nose. Gavin is picking his nose. We are going into the United States. We are in 'Candada'! We are going to the United States. Dualie! It is a dualie Gavin. Daddy turn the blinker on. We are turning right. This is my right hand. Daddy turn his blinker on. Dualie! It is a dualie! We will drop you off at the hotel. ("What hotel are we going to?" we ask.) The Rick Steves. There's the moon. We are traveling by night!"
Too funny. It certainly kept me awake, and smiling. We wonder where he comes up with some of his phrases, though I guess all kids end up picking their noses at some point.
