Anna is quickly outgrowing her little Barbie quad vehicle. So she's opted to give Ian's "Jeep" a test drive on Friday afternoon. She caught on to using a pedal instead of a button pretty quickly but her driving is a visual whiplash for everyone involved. The steering wheel is a bit tough for her to turn yet but she was trying. She only had a few incidents, one that involved a bird feeder on a shepherd's hook and one where she nearly drove the Jeep into the swing set frame....but no injuries were reported.
Ian attempted to give her a few lessons from the passenger seat but he quickly got frustrated with her inability to follow his directions. It was a bit comical listening to him say things like, "Annaaaaa! I said turn LEFT not RIGHT. You aren't listening to me. I give up! Move over. I'm driving." I got a glimpse of him as an all-knowing sixteen year old driver with a crisp new license in his wallet and it was entertaining. Once Ian went to the front yard to assist Mark with mowing, Anna took the wheel and caught on pretty quickly...with me running along side of the Jeep to keep her on course.
I'm just waiting for the day when she tries to convince her adoring Daddy to buy her a cute little sports car instead of the ultra-safe vehicle he will want her in. Thankfully, we have years to work on her logical and practical side. God help us. Ha!
