Rachel has her driver's permit! In Florida, teens must have a permit for one year. Rachel plans to get her license next February, the middle of her sophomore year. Wow! That's early for our family. My other 3 all got their licenses at age 17, for their senior years. Way to go, Rachel! She's driving great. I had such stressful experiences teaching my others to drive, that this time around I taught Rachel months ago (in parking lots) so that when she officially began driving, she already knew what she was doing. As she drove me around town this week, I smiled as I thought back to my first time taking Isaac driving: I grabbed a book to read as I got into the car with him. I was planning to relax and enjoy some reading time while he drove slowly around some deserted streets. But within seconds, he'd forgotten where the brake was and drove up onto a sidewalk... that frantic experience was my introduction to driving with teenagers. But after having 3 drivers learn to drive with no accidents (so far), I hope I'm not too relaxed with Rachel.
