Not a bad coping mechanism, Snap

snap hiding from the craziness

The road trip home from Florida took 3 hours longer than it should have. We seemed to require endless breaks; and everyone (grown-ups included) was getting fussy, whiney and just plain annoying. Snap was the least patient with all of this foolishness. I can’t even tell you how many times he desperately moaned, “It’s taking foreeeeeeever!”

Then he discovered a brilliantly simple way to block out the reality of his day-in-a-car. He quietly pulled his precious blue blanket up over his head and just stayed that way. If the car was moving, he was under the blanket. He wasn’t sleeping…he’d stick out his little hand and wave if we talked to him. But he was hiding out from it all. Just chillin’ out in a shroud of blue satin and fleece.

I wish I had his knack for finding the calm way out of a stressful situation. Maybe I need a big (yeah, it’d take a huge one) blue blanket.
