Car Counting

Dear Jaida, when I was in college I was given an assignment to stand on a busy street and count how many people in cars I could see were wearing seatbelts. I can't begin to tell you how embarrassed I was - which is why I remember it so well. Today you sat out on the sidewalk next to our busy street with a blanket and a sippy cup and counted how many different colors of cars drove past. Even when the policeman pulled up to talk to you it didn't deter you. You gave him his very own category (police car) and he gave you a police badge sticker which you proudly wore. I hope that you will always be this way!
