Our 3 year old has been attending swim classes at our gym for the past month and I think he really enjoys it. There's free swim after the classes and David is often hard pressed to get our baby to leave the pool. It's even more difficult getting him out of the car when David pulls into the driveway.
There must be something about the open road, cars, and toddlers - especially boy toddlers. My friend, N, has a son the same age as our 3 year old and he loves to sit in the driveway in the car and pretend to drive. I have heard stories about N sitting in the car with him for hours.
Right now I'm sitting on our patio in the back yard watching my son sit in the driver's seat of the car pretending to drive off to who knows where. There have also been a few moments when the horn has accidentally (or not accidentally) honked.
In a few moments I will have to call everyone inside to lunch and there will be much screaming and carrying on about how Nick would rather sleep in the car. And, I may just give in and bring his chicken nuggets and tater tots to him so that he can eat inside the car. I realize that it may not be the best solution, but I'm thinking that life is short and why should I rob him from his good time of eating in the driveway in a parked car.
I say that now, but I know in a couple of days I will be posting about how I am sick of feeding my kid in the car while it is sitting in the driveway. But, for now - it's all good.
