Jillian had to go out of town for work this week which allowed Megan and I to take advantage of this precious time and have a daddy-daughter date. So I gave her the choice of all of her favorite places for dinner. And she chose ... Chipotle.
So we bonded over quesadillas and tacos. Afterwards my daughter conquered one of her fears too. She has been deathly afraid of car washes for some reason. I went through one with her about seven months ago and she freaked out. I think she gets scared of the brushes as they 'attack' the car.
Several weeks ago we took Megan to the car wash by our house where you get out of the car and can watch the process from the window. She seemed to take that rather well. So last night, after our dinner date at Chipotle, we drove by the same car wash and she said, "Car wash open daddy. Wash car." I was stunned. I asked if she wanted to be in the car, or out of the car and she said in. So of course I had to go through with it.
She was fine up until halfway through the process when the brushes started 'attacking' the car. I held her hand, we sang songs, and I tried to explain the process as it happened to comfort her. After it was all over she was so excited. She was my brave little girl. What a great date.
