Fast forward we became grandparents again this past Friday 9/8/17, to another beautiful girl Ava Ann. Her older sister Hanna now 28 months old slept over the last 3 nights. On Sunday morning I was detailing my orange RS/Z28 for an upcoming photo shoot. My wife brought Hanna out to watch me polish the orange car. I asked her if she wanted to sit in the car. She answers " show me my blue car". Since I was busy my wife took her to look at the blue car. They came back and Hanna said"I need keys my car" , I didn't give her the keys but took her to the car and put her in the car (the car is in an enclosed trailer). She proceeded to go into hyper mode all excited. She jumped from the front to back, turning every switch, grabbing the wheel trying to pull wires under the dash.

I let her have some fun, and then ask her to come to me by the window so I can pull her out.... well for the next ten minutes she hides in back, laughing at my attempts to get her out. What I love about her is she really believes it's her car. Who knows.... she can have whatever she wants. here's a few pics I thought I'd share. BTW being a grandparent is fantastic!!!! Yes she has me wrapped.....
