You have such wonderful, responsible, cool-headed kids. Susan will do GREAT! Relax! Of course that is easy for me to say, Caleb has another five to six years. :)
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, I am looking forward to Susan becoming licensed almost as much as she is. It will be so convenient to have a third driver around! Kathryn isn't too interested in it at this point, but she'll probably feel more like it once Susan is through the course.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Nathan wants his license now, and doesn't see why they don't give them to twelve-year-olds.
ReplyDeleteSome kids at twelve are more responsible and ready then those at sixteen! I would feel more comfortable with Nathan behind a wheel then a lot of others kids I've seen.
ReplyDeleteWhen I turned twelve I started a countdown to when I could drive. I even picked out my car!
