Ugh! If it's not hard enough teaching a 4 year old correct behavior, now I have to teach my husband!
We needed to get banana's and strawberry dip so just a quick trip to the grocery store. Generally I would always go to Kroger, but Grace begged to go to Marsh - only b/c Marsh has the grocery cart where both girls can sit up front in a little car and drive. It's too cute b/c they both drive like NASCAR drivers while Grace frequently turns around to ask me what movie I want... since we didn't need much I was forced to drive around the store like a crazy lady so the girls could drive. But I guess that's the kind of thing Mom's do:-)
While driving the cart, I see my cute, sweet, little 4 year old spit outside her window! I was like, "what did you just do??!!!" Grace informs me like - what? I didn't do anything wrong... "I spit, just like my Daddy does when he drives" UGH! I quickly informed her, "We do not do that. And if you're Daddy does he'll be sitting in time out w/ you!" So we make it through the rest of the trip w/ no spitting - thank goodness! When we left the store I called Matt to say, "Why would Grace think it's okay to spit outside the window while driving???" Matt was like, "oh, hmm... not sure..." So then when I told him what happened he thought it was funny! I said, "No more spitting:-)"
Side note: Eva loves driving so much that I had trouble extracting her from the drivers seat of the car... she bent over to prevent me from getting a good grip on her. Once I was able to get my hands under her arms, she then went limp. Luckily I didn't drop her, and followed up w/ full body spasms. Would would have ever thought a grocery cart could be so much fun!
