A couple of months ago I wrote here that Hannah has a thing about car washes. Specifically, whenever we put the car through an automated wash, she’ll be hollering in tears! Evidence here.
Thing is; the car needs a wash every now and then. Of course we could wash our Latio the old and manual way – but nothing beats that sinking feeling of spending a good hour of your life hand-washing your drive, and 30 minutes later when you’re driving out, there’s a flash rain here to ruin all your effort!
So, these days it’s the auto carwash. How do we solve Hannah hollering though? Easy – we put Mommy in the car beside her in the passenger seat. Here’s the outcome of one such exercise last weekend:
The calm before the storm and time for pictures first!
Even Daddy flashes the V sign to encourage our girl.
And here we go. The minute the first water jets sprayed onto the car, Hannah looked about to break into hollers!
Mommy quickly stuffs our girl with the Dory cushion!
Warning… Warning… Baby about to burst!!
Mission Failed.:(
The funniest thing is that we actually have a much easier time having Hannah vaccinated by her PD than with the carwash! But that Ling was beside her in the car did helped… somewhat.
We’ll redo this exercise the next time we have the car washed and report on the next findings soon enough.:)
Bah! Stupid water jets! Poor little Hannah, and not even Dory could console her anguish.
In 17 years, I hope she finds this as charming as we do :)
ROFL.:)
Ah, she was so adorable! Though I said it myself, hee hee :)
Couldn’t help laughing at the pics… very cute indeed.
My little girl experiences the same emo transition whenever her daddy srubs the balcony floor. And she’ll pat her chest to mean “scared scared” and then lips turn upwards and the bawling begins. What is it abt the water/sound that scares them??
Wish we knew too, Kym. :) Thank God all these will pass too!
