I've always been relatively neutral on the idea of DVD players in the car. I figured that I would probably allow my kids to watch movies on long car rides, but not on the daily errands around town.
Well, we are leaving on vacation tomorrow, and I borrowed a DVD player from Bob & Lori to see if it would help occupy Caroline during our looooooong journey. I installed it during her nap this afternoon.
We had to run to the grocery store, and she asked what it was. I tried to explain that it was to watch "shows" while we drive to the beach. Um, yeah, she's (almost) 2, so that didn't go over so well. I caved, and I let her watch on the ride to the store.
Do you think it will help?

We will definitely be taking it out after vacation! I think it's baby crack!
