Mommy's New Van

The lease is ending on Mommy's car (Mercury Milan), and seeing as how I'm going to be a big brother very soon, she and Daddy decided it was time for something a little big larger.... something that would be easy to get two kids in and out of.... with plenty of room for us and all our stuff! Well, hold on to your sippy cups! (Don't worry, there are 13 cup holders!)

They decided on (well, Mommy convinced Daddy to get) a Volkswagen Routan Minivan. It's great! Daddy is still really having a hard time dealing with the stigma of a minivan because it's just "not cool." (I think it makes him feel old!) But I really like it! I've already figured out how the remote and push-button doors open and close.
And it has a two-screen two-DVD player rear entertainment system. I quickly realized this means I can watch "Trash Truck" in the van! Daddy showed me how to turn on and put on the wireless headphones, which they think look absolutely adorable on my little head!

It's great to have so much more room for my long growing legs to stretch out! But don't call it a "car" -- I'm quick to correct you that it's "Mommy's Van"!
