All this for $4 Bucks!

So, today I decided it was time to get the van washed. After breakfast and play for awhile, I got the boys all dressed and put in them in the car.

Now I didn't have quit enough for a real inside outside car wash, but I did have enough for the one you just drive through. I have taken Matthias with me to get the car washed many times and normally he'll just sit there and stem and be totally oblivious to what is going on around him.

This is what he typically is doing, not even aware of anything else going on.

But today, to my pleasant suprise, THIS is what he was doing :

He was paying attention to his surroundings!!! AND pointing out and asking every question he could think of!!!

"Mommy look, its blue and yellow and green"

"Mommy look at the water"

"What is it doing now mommy?"

"Can we do it again?"

As we drove home from the carwash, he continued on his visually awareness day. Look, mommy, look! PIGEONS!! (even though I dislike them) I was just as excited as he was that he pointed them out to me and told me how they have wings and can fly mommy!! Then at the next stop light he says"Mommy, look at the ducks, their swimming in the water" "I like ducks Mommy" I sat there in amazement. WHAT in the heck is going on here!!! My son is consistantly verbally interacting with me!!! This is a HUGE, HUGE thing for Matthias!!! These Methyl B12 shots are helping him so much!!!!!

Of course(as you can tell already) I was simply elated by this and took many many pictures (the boys get so tired of the camera in their face, but I love it!!) Now even though Matthias had a blast at the car wash, Gabriel, well he was NOT so excited about the carwash experience, see what he was doing.....

Although this was at the end, so maybe he was just tired of sitting still for so long :)

All in all it was a great day for a carwash, and all this for $4 bucks!!!!

Gotta love it!

Much love
