I have entered a milestone in my life! I am now a driver of a minivan and soon to be mom of three! Yikes! I can't believe it. It feels so weird. I didn't expect to feel this way, but it feels like a rite of passage that I have been wondering if I really want to enter. At this point, with my belly protruding to Wisconsin, I don't have much of a choice.
Have any of you seen those Honda Odyssey commercials talking about how the van is cool again? Probably not because I imagine those commercials are only for people who just spent their life savings on one and are trying to feel good about their purchase like me. It is a pretty cool car though. We picked out the color, a silver with just a bit of bluish green in it. The girls love the automatic doors and Dave taught them that they close and open by saying "Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo". This morning Ellie hopped in her carseat and said the magic words, and because I hadn't buckled her in yet, I didn't push the button. But then disappointed, she said, "Mom, it's not working."
Dave told Aubrie our car was made in Japan. Later when a Shakira song came on the radio, he asked Aubrie if she understood it. She said "no", and he told her it was in Spanish. She said, "No, Daddy, it's not Spanish. It's Japanese, because remember our car was made in Japan!"
It's official. I'm a member of the minivan club now!

We bought an Odyssey late last year and I'm still mourning the life change. But it is a great car for travel--especially with the DVD player overhead!
how fun for you!! we were considering the odyssey when car shopping last year but ended up with an expedition (i just couldn't do the mini-van thing - i'm a wimp!). so glad you like it - can't wait to hear when you have your new little one!!
