Jordan’s obsession with wheels has now transformed itself fully into an obsession with Poppy’s car (which we have told him is now Daddy’s car). We hear “Poppy’s car” no less than 100 times every day, no joke. He wakes up saying it on repeat, and we hear it all through the day. He literally gets giddy with delight when it’s time for me to leave in the morning for work and he gets to watch me drive away in Poppy’s car. He’ll even start saying “bye bye, see you later” to me to make me get in the car sooner.

If we are out and about, he points to every single Prius, all zillion of them and tells us that it’s a “Red Poppy car” or “gween poppy car.” Prius’s are the #1 car on the road here, so you can imagine how many times a day we hear it.

He loves to touch the car and rub the dirty wheels, and when it’s time to stop, he often starts crying.

But he also loves Tammy’s new CRV (especially if Poppy’s car isn’t around). He calls it Mommy’s new car, or sometimes just “Manu car” for short. He could spend hours just touching the two cars in the driveway if we let him.

Guess we need to start washing our cars more often:

The driveway has become his new playground:

Tammy got some free goldfish at the market the other day. I captured one picture of Jordan checking them out before their lives came to a quick end after I overfed them. Glad he’s too young to ask for an explanation.
