red means stop

and green means go, in case you didn't know that yet.  but no worries, k will inform you if you aren't sure!

we have been working on this concept a bit over the last few days.  k is learning all about traffic signals and stop signs.  right now, she is calling every sign a stop sign but we'll keep working on it.  it's nice to add little lessons like this to the growing repertoire of songs we sing in the car.  anything to keep her mind off of not having a movie in front of her.  we stow the dvd player away when we aren't long distance travelling (something that took us a year to do...)

back to red light green light.  the other day, i stopped at my red light.  i was turning right, however, so once i waited my obligatory 3 seconds, i started to make my turn.  k screamed from the backseat, "no mom!  it's a red light!  red means stop!  you can't go!"  the funny thing, to me, was that she was highly concerned and was legitimately yelling at me as if i was breaking the law.  it was comical.

while i love teaching her something and then watching her internalize the concept and use it in her life, i can't help but wonder if i've already created the monster that is the back seat driver...
