I have had the benefit of witnessing many Big Steps Forward for my children in the past year. Owen starting preschool (THAT was a big day) and memorizing the names of the planets (and even individual moons of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn)...Julianna walking everywhere and saying actual words that communicate with us...Donovan's first full season of tackle football...Connor's emergence toward adolescence and all of the things that brings, such as a rabid interest in comic books and sci-fi that we can share.
This week, we had Katie here all week, so she had her own Big Step Forward. She's 15 now, and so we started driving lessons in earnest this week. We had a brief one during her time here last summer, but it was mostly focused on just learning steering, brakes, and gas. This time, we started working on a little more...and expanding her horizons and pushing the envelope a little bit. Here's her test from her lesson this past Tuesday night:
Then, for yesterday, I got two longer videos, as she did her little tests for me. Here's the first, with her completely on her own.
This last one is in-car, for the full experience.
Good job, Katie! We're proud of you! Keep working hard on it and you'll get to drive on your own some time soon.
