Driver Training

When I went to visit Sadie a few nights ago, I spied a new toy for her enjoyment -- a walker that looks like a sporty little car!

Sadie is 4 1/2 months old now, and as I took photos of her in her car, I noticed expressions that I recognized from when her mom and aunts were growing up.  Expressions that will be nurtured and honed through the years, until as a teenager she will have them perfected.

You're gonna let me drive? 
I guess I'll give it a try...


Tell me everything -- I'm listening.  I'm focused.
How long is this going to take?
Geez, Mom --  enough already!
The eye rolling comes naturally to most girls.  It will be absolutely devastating in 10 or 12 years!

Okay, pre-drive prep -- horn, check!
Adjust mirrors, check!  Flipping off the other bozos out there will come later.
I'm outta here -- whoo-hoo!!!
This little girl looks like she's out to conquer the world -- fearless and at full blast!  Just like her mommy.
