Riding in circles
A short while back, Lautje and Anneke convinced the Mommy and Daddy to take them to a street carnival in the neighborhood. Lautje thoroughly enjoyed it, since (in addition to lots of junk food) this involved his two favorite things in the world: cars and riding in circles. The firetruck was definitely a hit...
... as was the race car, with the Mommy as back-up:
The train, however (taking him on an endlessly fascinating journey around what appeared to be a small army of garden gnomes) brought out the biggest smile and is featured fondly in the stories Lautje tells to this day:"I went all by myself!" or in Lautje-speak: "Dude danz alleen tein gereden!!"
Anneke, on the other hand, somewhat missed out on the fun. Since she was too young for the rides, and her stomach too touchy for any of the junk food, she quite sensibly decided to simply sleep through most of the festivities (just how she managed to do that with the incredible noise level remains her secret). Back home again, however, she insisted on having her turn at riding in circles:
