Once upon a time there was a happy little family. Daddy, Mommy and Baby. This happy little family also had one happy, little Car, with which they did all of their traveling.
At the beginning of the new year, Daddy and Mommy got to spend every day together watching Baby grow up before their eyes, and Car drove them where ever they wanted to go. They often went to the grocery store. Or to Grandma and Grandpa's house; Baby especially liked that place. And Car was happy to oblige their every travel whim.
However, Bank Account started to get a little bit grumpy after a little while. He was not so happy about Mommy and Daddy spending so much time together. So after Daddy scolded the naughty Bank Account he decided it was time to get some work done, and he picked up his weld hat and went to work.
Car loved taking Daddy to work everyday. It was a lovely hour and a half drive to and fro each day where Car got to see many things. And since it was winter, Car had to put on his sweater and mittens to stay warm for the cold, early morning drives.
Meanwhile, Mommy and Baby stayed in the house and played with Baby's toys. Baby was learning how to scoot around on her tummy and play the paci game with Mommy. It was such fun for both Mommy and Baby. And if it was a nice enough day outside they would take Stroller out for a walk.
Since Baby had to take an afternoon nap everyday Mommy would spend that time doing her chores and sometimes her favorite special things. Mommy loved to knit, bake chocolate chip cookies and cook a delicious supper for Daddy to eat when he came home from his long day at work.
Most of the time Daddy would work every day but one day a week. When Daddy would stay home from work Mommy and Baby were delighted! Daddy always played fun games with Baby and gave Mommy a kiss every time he walked by.
And on those special days Daddy, Mommy, and Baby would pile into Car to run errands and visit with their family.
Yesterday was such a special day for the family. It was the day Daddy and Mommy celebrated Valentine's Day.
Car drove Daddy and Mommy out to the city, where they enjoyed a lovely Valentine's lunch at Red Lobster. Baby went too and she really enjoyed the cheddar herb biscuits and mashed potatoes. Then they went to the grocery store to get all of the yummy ingredients for Mommy to make the meals for Daddy's suppers. After a long day riding in Car they made another stop at the hair salon where Mommy got a brand new haircut. Daddy likes to spoil Mommy when he is home from work.
As evening faded into nighttime, Car drove the family home but Daddy wanted to make one last stop. As Car pulled into the dealership he started to get a little nervous. Daddy usually wants Car to drive right passed all of these types of places, what could they be doing there?
Thankfully, shortly after Daddy drove Car into the parking lot, he drove Car back out again and it was such a relief. Whatever was Daddy thinking driving into a place like that, Car wondered?
Finally, they pulled up to their front door where Mommy and Baby went inside and Daddy lightened up Car's trunk by removing all of their heavy groceries. And when all of the groceries were inside Daddy parked Car in his carport for the night.
But Car couldn't sleep. Why did Daddy take Mommy and Baby to that place with all of the other Cars and Trucks and Vans. Oh my! Thought Car.
