Riding on a car might be a torture for some kids even if it is just for a few miles... not to mention for long trips. We do live about an hour from NYC and time to time we go there to enjoy the sizzling city. My kids are use to long rides but most of the time the get to use their electronics to entertain - what a great help!.
A few months ago, in one of those trips when we were coming home late and the moon was shiny and clear. Suddenly my 7 year old show me his art work made out an app in my cellphone... I just love the way he represented his window view and how he uses technology to do so. As an artful mom, you understand that I keep record of many art pieces from my kids, but this one in particular... touched my design soul deeply.
