Where's the Screwdriver?

This morning the boys and I were in the car ready to run some errands but I didn't get very far. The van was dead in the driveway. Andrew was upset that we couldn't leave but he quickly became excited when I told him it seems like the battery was dead.

His latest love is changing the batteries of toys...and actually, anything electronic that uses batteries. He has his screwdriver kit ready and waiting. When I told him a man will come fix the battery his eyes lit up with the thought of what kind of huge screwdriver would open the van's hood!

UPDATE: As it turned out, it was Andrew who drained the battery, so to speak. Yesterday I let him play with the steering wheel while I took the groceries out of the car. Usually he just plays with the wheel and turns on the blinkers but this time he turned on the "headlight lock" which disables the auto shut off on the lights and it kept them running all day and night.

At least now I know what to check for the next time he decides to "drive." Oh, and I think he was a little disappointed that no screwdriver was needed to open the hood. :-)
