Driving in Utah

My wife had her first drive in inclement weather on the highway. She had to pick up diapers and formula for our son. While it was a bit scary for her she did fine. Luckily she's drving an all-wheel drive vehicle. That gives me comfort. She's safer in that vehicle during foul weather than she would be in mine.

Our son is doing great but he's getting a little cranky riding in cars because he's been spending so much time in them.

He normally likes going on drives but in the last couple of days all he's done is sit in his car seat and go along for the ride. That he doesn't like. He likes to intersperse his rides with some running around.

That's what makes him truly happy.

While I was spending two weeks in Utah there was this one instance where our son would not go to sleep even though it was almost midnight. He would run to me while I was in bed and then he'd run away to play with the water in the bathroom sink, laughing all the way.

That made me laugh which in turn made him laugh. We created this chain of giggle fits that lasted about 5 minutes or so. It was one of those special moments that just came up, it brings a smile to my face every time I think about it.
