Although, there is one thing that instantly quiets her - The Fisher Price CD, Songs and Games For The Road. It is an adorable collection of well known child tunes, like Row, Row, Row your Boat and The Wheels on the Bus. She seriously is comforted by these tunes and of course this is too cute.
We had to use this CD to calm Miss Grace this weekend while driving - Mike was stunned with how well it worked and how quickly she was calmed! Although, by the 3rd song I thought he might steer the car into a tree to avoid what sounded like the Chipmunk's rendition of " John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt." I couldn't help laughing at her sudden catatonic state and his bout of anxiety - it was comical to say the least!
Well, when we got home and I was able to set Grace free and gave her some much needed outdoor time. I realized that it isn't so much the car that she despises but the fact that she is confined to the car seat and unable to move freely. Here is a picture after our somewhat long car ride (mind you 35 minutes at the most).
Free at last, free at last.....
