A breakthrough

Over the weekend, we spent a lot of time with my husband's family. On Labor Day, my father-in-law pulled out the mini-car they bought forever ago for the grandkids. My husband made a few attempts to get A2 interested. A2 was scared at first (expected), but then all of a sudden, he loved it. I thought for sure once he figured out how to make the car move, he would freak out and get scared. But he squealed with delight every time he pushed on the pedal and made it lurch forward—so much so that he just kept lurching all over their driveway. Surprising was N's rather nonchalant reaction to it. She sat in the passenger seat and did try to push on the pedal a few times, but I thought she'd be all over that exciting new toy. But after a while, she wanted to get out. When a few of the other kids wanted to have a turn, we pulled A2 out. This was his reaction.


Maybe this little boy won't be so reserved and nervous about everything in his life after all!
