Daily Sketch - Gummy Fairy

A few days ago, my wife found a great way to control our three year-old son Gabriel’s gummy treat habit – without causing a major meltdown.  It had gotten so out of control that he was begging all the time, like a little puppy dog.  He was eating three packages of gummy treats every day and wanting more! 
 
Here’s what she did.  First, she explained to Gabriel that there is a “Gummy Fairy” in our special kitchen cabinet and he’s not allowed to know which cabinet the Gummy Fairy lives in.   Every time Mommy gets the gummy treat from the Gummy Fairy, Gabriel has to close his eyes.  And the Gummy Fairy will only give Gabriel 2 gummy treat packages per day. 
 
After hearing all this, Gabriel told my wife, “Ooooookay, mommy”.   So far, so good!
 
Thank you to my good friend Frank F. who edited today story.

They chew Elmo's plastic eyes off Elmo into million small piece middle of room. It was funny that Gabriel shout so loud "What the HECK!?!" soon he walk in living room. Then padding softly on head, "Poor Elmo" he said and we try not laugh so hard.  That was cute and sad moment we ever have seen him.

6.5 Hours Car Ride

We survived six half hours car ride journey from Lansing, MI to Sterling, IL and thirteen hours around trip. This never gets old, every time we go for long car ride trip at least couple hours between places and we hear a lot of loud scream, arguing, crying, screech and fight from kids in back seats of car. It was hard challenging to focus driving on highway in 65/70 mph with all drama going on behind me. We did have good piece of quite here, there and get there all in one piece.

Also I was not surprise that's we gets pass through Chicago on Interstate 88 aka Tollway eats your wallet. We paid tollway on way to Aunt about $22+/- and that's insane! Other thing was I not surprise that is everyone are speeding in construction zone and not single one troop pull anyone over in construction from 15 over of even faster than speed limited. I have hard time keep up with flow the traffic because I don't be one of those people goes actual construction speed limit I did last time. A lot of horn honk and vehicles fly pasted us so fast you could imagination. This time I go about 5 over speed limit in slow lane to avoid most speed racers in fast lane without any troubles...

We always stop for meal break at Culver's in the Michigan City, IN on way down and on way back. It's our traditional and going keeps it way as it for really long time....

Thankfully that's we're all in piece safe after other six and half hour ride back home from Aunt Lori.
