You remember in the post about the strawberry picking I mentioned that we drove to the strawberry field. I also mentioned that Michael came and joined us.

Well, those two things culminated in this post.

When we finished picking berries we put the flats in the back. At that point Nicholas decided to plant himself in the driver’s seat. Luckily for him, his dad was there.

Michael decided it was a good idea for Nicholas to turn the car around.

Doesn’t he look so little behind the wheel? It’s BECAUSE HE IS!

Michael directed him through the whole thing.

When he got the car turned around Joshua decided he wanted to drive.

There wasn’t any turning around for Joshua and, and as much as he wanted to drive ACROSS THE HIGHWAY, Michael said “no”.

So here is the perfect example of why kids need dads. There is no way I would have allowed that. “What! You’ll crash and DIE!” “Don’t even think about it!” is what they would have heard from me. But my boys did survive and will some day be great drivers because their dad teaches them and allows then to explore things I would NEVER DREAM OF.

Dads. They are a good thing.
