The One Where My Baby Gets to Drive

Landon told me a couple of months ago that he wanted to drive Taylor to the MTC.  I told him he needed his permit in order to do that.

Sunday our son--who never cracks a book--spent the entire afternoon reading the driving manual.  Yesterday he took his written test and passed.

I spent several hours last night riding around with our son.  We took back roads, busy roads, the freeway.  I taught him how to use cruise control.  I reminded him to turn on the lights.  I told him if the car in front of him pushes his brakes, it would be a good time to stop accelerating.  I told him that I loved him a lot, because I NEVER took one of the other kids for drives just to practice, ESPECIALLY on the day they got their permit.

Landon must be my favorite.  I should have told him that.
