A proud moment

[nadger]

Whilst taking my 2.5 y/o daughter out on her scooter, she pointed to a Saab 9-5 and said 'that's like your car daddy, but yours is blue'. I was very proud, especially as I have a 9-3, so she's clearly able to recognise the brand style!
I have taught her well!

One day you'll have to buy your own scooter.

HalfPints mk2 (aged 3) pointed out this morning, "that car has the same badge as your grey car". An accurate observation when seeing a green Beetle (we've a Golf).

Both HalfPints are very observant when it comes to cars. Not bad for girls.

Why should girls be any less observant of such things?

Daughter has been able to recognise all the makes of car that we've had since that age.

She sadly still remembers the Espace we had then, and still tells me off for selling it.

Every time she goes out on hers I am filled with envy! I'm half tempted to try hers, but it's bright pink and has a maximum allowed weight of 20kgs, which is about 1/5th of my mass!

Because they don't usually care about that sort of thing.
Can you name Beyonce's latest handbag?

Mine are both girls and spot cars. Eldest is six and gives a running commentary of car makes. Youngest is four and spots cars she likes. Minis mostly but I had to drive around town this afternoon so she could see a frog eyed sprite...

I've worked hard on them both to turn them from barbie doll obsessed things to mini petrol heads. The youngest one is usually to be found with me at car shows.

My 5yr old daughter, who has so far showed NO interest in cars or driving has this week decided to start shouting out at EVERY speed limit sign she sees - e.g. "Go fifty daddy, go fifty". Almost like having a miniature version of her mother in the car with me

On overhearing that I'm going to swap one of the cars shortly, our 8yo daughter told me she wants us to get one of these

I hope you bought her some sweets for that. What an excellent child.

Clearly been watching too much Ghostbusters.

Just wait for the question:

"Daddy, why don't they make cars like yours anymore?"

Much like my two. The youngest especially prefers a Lego set with cars, rather than the pink bunny hutch sets.
Very well behaved in the car and love it when I take roundabouts enthusiastically.

Avid MINI spotters too.

Sorted that issue for you.

My 3yo boy is getting good at Jag's, merc's, MINI's, Focus(mummy car), Skoda (Daddy car) and Porsche (old daddy car) he spotted a 997 the other day. "Daddy, can we buy one of those"

On journeys our current game is to guess how many Minis we will see before we arrive.

Sounds like mummy needs a new car

So, when is she going to be allowed out from under the stairs? Such a minor but glaring error, punishment must be administered.

Thanks. That oversight has been bothering me!
