She is cautious and at times overly mindful.
She is eager yet timid
She is always willing to take the keys
So Wednesday evening, when I had forgotten a few errands she was quick to offer to drive us to the stores and finish the lists.
I will be honest and admit that riding passenger in the dark, rush hour traffic with my still learning 15 year old daughter was not high on my evening agenda yet I was reminded that she won't learn if we don't try.
The Littles are quite excited when Madi drives and are often quick to "help" her with their backseat driving suggestions.
With everyone buckled we headed down the road to the first stop- Walmart.
Overall, Madison is a great driver. She is mindful of the other cars and gives her self plenty of space and time to react.
If there is one area that she is most unsure its parking.
She is very concerned about hitting another car.
As we pulled into the parking lot, I told her to find where she was most comfortable and to park there. It was an opportunity for her to build her confidence and skills.
Here is where she decided....
Her Joy was bubbling over, she was so proud of herself and her park job- perfectly situated between the lines, no risk of hitting anything. (there was not a car within 40 spaces of us)
We laughed the entire cold walk to the entrance... all 167 steps.
