Tonight I had to take Abby to ready care (sore throat - Strep test came back negative). As soon as I said let's get into the car, Ben came up to me, stuck his hands into his pockets and said: "Mommy, you can't drive your car to the Doctor's office- you'll waste gas. You should walk or ride your bike."
Once we explained that it was not a 'waste' and that the Doctor's office was all the way in the neighboring suburb (a good few miles away) he decided that it was OK for me to drive. And for him to have Culver's for dinner. (I think the Culver's was the kicker).
He has been enjoying learning how to save the "Earf." They had a field trip walk to the library, they picked up litter and he has been turning lights off all over the house. It's pretty darn cute.
