Charles frequently has problems with carrying all of his cars. Being the clever boy that he is, he’s figured out a solution - give the cars to Dad “for later”.
A few days ago we went to one of Corwin’s soccer practices. Charles dragged along a dart gun, sippy cup and three cars. As we left the car, Charles saw the playground next to the practice fields and insisted on going to play (he referred to it as “park”, which is a new word for him to use). He realized he couldn’t carry everything so he gave the cars to Dad. Dad, not thinking clearly, just put the cars in the real car and went off with Charles.
A while later Charles got bored and started rifling through Dad’s pockets. It took a minute to realize that Charles was trying to locate the cars because it was now “later”. He was very sad when told that the cars were back in the parking lot. He looked across the field, about 30 meters, to the distant car and decided he could do without his cars for a little while. Such a tough spirit he has!
