Car Games

So Corbin loves to play games in the car (I spy, ABC game, etc.). We play spelling bee - give him a word and he has to spell it. If he gets it right I have to clap and if he doesn't I have to buzz him. He often tries to make up new games too. The "song game" is where we lip sync to the radio - he does the boy singers and I have to do the girls. And since he can't really see me when I am driving, I have to sort of move my head, dance, tap my fingers or something so that he knows for sure that I am playing. The most recent one is my favorite. It's called "The World Game". I have to pick a country that I want to go to and he has to try and spell it. This is quite complicated for a five year old. So the other day I chose Egypt. Since he has a hard time pronouncing it, it was quite interesting to hear the attempts at spelling. So as he is rattling off different letters in no coherent order, I was trying to pronounce it slowly for him and trying to hint at the "y", Cody is on the other side imitating me and says laughing, "You want to go to 'Pee-gyft'?". And of course since they are boys, anything that has to do with Pee is just hilarious. I couldn't help but laugh, because I think that really is what Cody heard. Boys are great.
