Around the house (II) - traffic jam

Traffic jam alert at Cassia Crescent!
The little one started lining up cars lately during his playtime- parking them side-by-side, parallel park at times and hapharzardly when he is bored with them creating numerous accident-prone zones around the living area. One evening, the big brother decided to join him by emptying the entire bucket of cars and lining them up from one end to the next! Besides the cars, a couple of toy planes and construction vehicles were also caught in the jam.......it was so bad that it stretched beyond the highway, went under the coffee table and even managed a U-turn under the table.

We cannot agree more when wiser folks make a connection between man (and boys) and their cars and gadgets; just like how woman is drawn to bags and shoes. This was one of those rare occasions where the boys were playing together harmoniously, with a common cause, as they are usually squabbling or fighting with one another over some little object which the other one is holding or playing with. Speaking of traffic jams, we are indeed in need of space due to the ever-growing number of toys (from the ever-indulgent papa) - especially vehicles as Kayden is dying to own a scooter and Tristan's eyes are practically green when Kayden is cycling. At this age, telling them to share and take turns can be quite a big challenge.
