Pushed to the Limit

Car trips with Noah are often challenging because he hates sitting still and constantly needs something to entertain him. He is often whining, complaining, and asking for things we don't have. We have stacks of books, games, doodlepads, etc. in the car to keep him halfway busy. The only thing he cares to look at outside the window are farm animals and water. Needless to say, we don't pass too many farm animals in the bay area so he is often seeking other means of entertainment! 

The other afternoon we were driving to the store and Sophie is doing her best to help Noah, offering to share her toys with him. He will ask for a book, Sophie will give it to him and then he'll throw it down on the ground. He'll ask for his hat, Sophie will give it to him and he'll throw it on the ground again. This goes on and on forever with him asking for things and Sophie graciously giving it to him.....finally Sophie is completely fed up and yells at Tim and me, "I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!"

Shortly after we arrived to Tim's golf course and we took some suckers from his office. Yup, I totally gave in and he was double fisted with two dum-dums on the way home......we all enjoyed some peace and quiet!
