If You Can't Beat 'em...Join 'em!

I think the toy David missed the most when he was away from home was the Jeep. One of the first days we came home, David asked Jason to ride with him in the Jeep around our property. Jason of course explained that he was too big to fit in it so David thought for a minute and then asked if Jason could follow him in his tricycle. Once again daddy explained he is too big for that. Then David said "you can follow me in your truck!" And Jason replied "Yes, yes I can." To Jason that somehow seemed like a perfectly acceptable thing to do. They have been doing it daily and have decided its called "jeeps n trucks". Ever since, David has been asking me to do the same. For a week I kept telling him that it was a daddy thing to do, not a mommy thing to do. Since they go in one big circle around the house, it just reminded me too much of NASCAR, which is the one sport I just cannot get in to! Alas, I think it is a lost cause. Last weekend Jason had the race on TV and David got all into it. He spotted the m & m car, decided he liked that one and started cheering for it. Jason said he almost cried real tears when it wrecked! David wanted it to win sooooo bad. Anyway...yesterday I decided, if you can't beat 'em, might as well join 'em! I really enjoyed driving Jason's truck and listening to his XM radio... I must admit, its not too bad of a game!
