When asked for cheerios, as we regularly snack in the car, he informed the small one that we were out till he got to the store. To which she replied "No we're not. Theres a bunch back here."

Nathan is *this* close to being able to sign "Signing Time" when he wants me to play an episode and Tasha gets so excited when it is Hopping Time. I'll have to check Rachel's site to see when the new episodes start. <BR/><BR/>My husband has a "no eating in the car rule" that has worked so far but the kids are starting to be more demanding and we may need to start offering snacks on longer trips. Your story has reminded me that I want to buy those plastic snack cups that don't spill easily. <BR/><BR/>Well, I didn't mean for my first comment on your site to be long and rambling but it is.
