This is how you get a 1 1/2 year old to be calm while waiting in a long line to wash your car. She was getting mad she was stuck in her car seat. She kept telling me "Mama, tuck!" over and over. Then when she started crying that was when I got my Kindle Fire out and opened the Firework app. She calmed right down and started playing the game. Thank goodness, because the line didn't move quickly either!
Lukas on the other hand didn't need to be occupied he was watching the cars ahead talking about he car wash. He was excited waiting for our turn. He loves a car wash and he even will give me the play by play while we are in the car wash. He'll say "Mom, first they blow water underneath our car." I will say "yep" then he will say "now they are gonna rinse our car." Then he will talk about the soap and the brushes. Then the spot free rinse. It all fascinates him and he just loves going through the car wash.
Well Megan is the opposite. She doesn't like a car wash. Maybe when she is older she will, but when I took her this last time...no so much! She started frowning when the car wash started. Then she started getting nervous and crying a little. Both Lukas and I reassured her it's OK as we smiled at her. Lukas said "Meggers, it's OK...it's just a car wash...it only cleans the outside of the car...we don't get wet inside." The Kindle did nothing to calm her. Thank goodness a car wash is maybe 5 minutes long or so!
