Lesson #59
Fake it til you make it
When it comes to traveling, my kids generally do pretty well. Thanks to modern technology, there isn't much room for boredom on our trips. The kids are generally happy if there is a movie to watch. Miles is still in the napping phase and Zoey still does best with a nap. But napping and road tripping do not mesh well for Zoey. In order to get Miles to fall asleep, we had to turn off all technology. Zoey did not accept this easily. We pleaded with her to be quiet so Miles to fall asleep. After a range of loud and annoying antics, she finally decided to fake that she was sleeping. She had a sneaky smile on her face for a few minutes and then the unexpected happened. Not only did Miles fall asleep, Zoey did as well. She actually faked herself to sleep. What followed was the most peaceful hour of our five and a half hour trip to Cincinnati.
