(Note: In our van we have one booster seat and one toddler seat in the both the back and middle rows of seats Therefore, the twins do not sit by each other but have time to bond with their older siblings.)
In an effort to stop the arguing over who rides in the "back seat" for Hannah and Brock, I came up with a plan. Brock gets to ride in the back on ODD days, Hannah on EVEN days. So we've spent time talking about odd and even numbers. The plan works well for them. Now Corinne and Emma argue over who will ride in the "front seat"...anyway...
Last night I read about Adam and Eve to Corinne and Emma in their Lift the Flap Bible. We looked at all the pictures of the animals and repeated the names of Adam and Eve over and over.
Tonight when I handed Emma the Bible to look at the pictures again, she opened it to the pictures we had looked at last night. She pointed to the man and said, "ODD". She pointed to the woman and said, "EVEN". Looks like I have a little work to do on that story:)

We've done the "odd/even" plan for the oldest 2 for several years now - ever since they were big enough to ride in the front seat. Then, once boosters/car seats didn't "name your spot", we had to come up with a plan for the other two for the remaining middle row seat in the van. So, the older one gets the middle front seat on the "T" and "S" days and the younger one gets "M/W/F" . . . Dad doesn't get it, but as long as they understand and don't argue, all works well . . . !!
