Athen's Mainstreet Routine

Athen is such a talker! I never realized how much energy it would take to converse with a two and half year old, I also never realized how much joy it would bring either!
A-man, has this little routine he does every single time we are driving down main heading south (KJ aren't you proud of my sense of direction). We first pass the movie theatre and he will say to me, "Mommy, I saw Shrek there! I ate popcorn and M&M's." Then we pass the Hampton Inn and he calls all Hampton Inns "Texas"* so he'll say, "Hi Texas." Next is Applebees, and it's, "Hi Apple." Then he'll give a shoutout to Towmater, "Dadgum Mater." We drive maybe another 1/4 of a mile before we hit a stoplight. He always tells me what color is on the stoplight and what that means. By chance if it's red, he will let me know what car is next to us, the color the model and make (if he knows it). We then get to "Walmark" where he promptly asks, "Please Mommy I can have a car?" If we aren't going to "Walmark" we then see Braums and he will say, "Mommy I NEED an ice cream." If we aren't going to either of those places, he will continually ask, Mommy where are we going? Can we go to walmark? Are we going to base? Where are we going? Will daddy be there?
And that's his mainstreet routine!

*During the ice storm we stayed in a Hampton Inn in Wichita Falls for 4 nights and he kept asking where we were and we told him Texas, so now all Hampton Inns are Texas.
