Lately, during our car rides around town, Judah and I have been talking about stoplights and what each light color tells us to do. Yesterday, on our way to the grocery store, I came to a red light, stopped to look for traffic coming from the left and proceeded to turn when I saw no one was coming. Immediately after I turned, Judah yelled from the back seat, "Mom, you can't go on a red light! A red light means STOP!" I then had to tell Judah that he was right but explain that it was okay to turn right on red when there weren't any cars coming from the other direction. A pretty deep concept for a 3 year old to grasp!

That's awesome.
Confession: there is a stop sign on my gravel road that I often do a rolling stop for--if that--I got BUSTED by my kids! They notice every little thing!
