Spending time with older children-checking the car

My husband volunteered to show Middle Son how to check out the car

• the oil
• the water
• the water for the windscreen
• the indicators
• the lights
• the tyres

So they went out in the autumn sunshine to look at the innards of the car.

The oil

The water for the windscreen-also a good time to talk about anti-freeze

Mt Exuberance, aged two, also thought this was very interesting and managed to get rather oily hands in the process. He was particularly disappointed when he had to go indoors-maybe tricycle maintenance next.
