Somebody has the travel bug

Lesson learned tonight. Do not use travel dreaming as a bed time story.

Davis was all snuggled in my arms on the verge of falling asleep when DADDY! started dreaming about our family vacation.

"To the beach or mountains?" he asks.
I ask are we flying or driving?

Davis pops up, 'plane?!' and acts it out for us in case we forgot that it makes a lot of noise. "Where we going?!" he asks excitedly.

But then something clicked and he decided he would drive in the car. We were going to the mountains and Mommy would be in the backseat and Daddy would sit next to him. These are all his words not ours.

So for the next 10 min, 20 already past bed time, he described how he would be on the road and when a car got in the way he would go backwards. All sounded very logical to me. Just a little insane coming from a child who a month ago couldn't form complete sentences.

"Let's go!" he says. He became fixated on going somewhere right now (and he's driving) at 9:15 pm. We are all in our jammies, but to avoid the major meltdown of an already hyper and tired child, they jumped in the car and are driving around the neighborhood until D falls asleep.

Sigh

From now on we will save the travel planning for daytime hours.

Oh and we've decided we have to keep the car keys far out of reach. We now attribute this delusion of knowing how to drive to the overly realistic experience of the Powewheels he's been borrowing from some friends. He prefers putting the Ford f150 with FM radio in reverse, in case you were wondering.
