CAROLINE HAS LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE

Caroline after spending the weekend with Grandpa and learning to drive.

Caroline spent the weekend with Grandpa because Junior and I had a wedding and wanted to get some things done around the house. Caroline and Grandpa spent most of the weekend at the Lake. Grandpa has a dune buggy/go cart type of thing and Caroline loves to ride in it. That is all she wants to do when they are at the lake. So dad told me that she likes to stear, turn the key and shift for him while they are tooling around. Basically he is telling me that he is teaching my 1 1/2 year old daughter to drive.

I picked her up this morning and meet Amy and Grandma at Destination Maternity because I can't wear any of my pre-pregnancy clothes. While we were getting the car loaded I let her sit in the front seat so that I could get all her stuff in the car. She immediately jumped over to the driver's side (don't worry, Aunt Amy was right there with her), put on my sunglasses and pretended to drive. She kept reaching over to the stereo and turning up the radio almost as load as it would go. We would quickly turn it back down and she would reach those little fingers back over and turn it up (she gets that from her daddy, he loves to listen to music way to loud for my taste). So while she was "driving" she danced to the music and then grabbed my cell phone and put it up to her ear. I tell ya, you can't do anything around this one. Anything she sees she immediatly does. She is a very quick learner - it is a little scary. Aunt Amy caught this picture with her camera so I had to share. It was so much funnier in person - Amy and Grandma were laughing so hard they were about to wet their pants.

We are so in trouble with this one and to think, she will probably teach her baby sister EVERYTHING she knows just like Amy did with me. God help us!
