Roan’s latest obsession is pretending to drive the Subaru. He LOVES putting music CDs in and out of the stereo, pressing all the buttons, and looking in the mirrors. When he’s in his car seat (and painfully not in control), he shouts out requests, referring to CDs by name. Here is a typical conversation with Roan in the car:
“Mama, listen Mooo-sic class tunes!!”
“How do you ask nice?”
“Pwweease!”
“Mama, youder [louder]!”
“How do you ask?”
“Youder, pwease.”
“Mama, crack-crack [cracker].”
“How do you ask nice?”
“Mama, pwease, crack-crack.”
“Mama, I listen ‘Once’ [soundtrack]!”
“Mama, youder!”
“Good song!” (clapping at the end of a song)
“Mama, I hear trash truck.”
“Mama, can’t see trash truck.”
“OOooooo, mama wook! Dump truck!”
“Mama, wa–er [water].”
“How do you ask nice?”
“Pwwease, mama, wa–er.”
And on, and on, and on…
