Traffic light syndrome

El ninja is a social kid, he likes guests and always behaves when we have people over. He also likes to go out – he is always in a good mood when we take him out, and he almost always passes out in the stroller or kangaroo. But nothing tops his favorite soother – car rides. He whines when we put him in the car seat, yet, as soon as the car starts moving, the whining goes away almost immediately. And in no time, he is sound asleep. How sweet! As if he had some kind of sensor of movement, as soon as the car stops for the red light, he wakes up and starts whining again. Funny, no? Not sure if there is a paediatric term for it, but I call it “traffic light syndrome”.
