At some point this spring, Luke took to driving. He has driven with a parent or grandparent a few times last year, but this year is driving alone down the road. He is a little too comfortable behind the wheel and it makes mom a little nervous. I wasn't a fan in the beginning, but I was outvoted. He was running dad, grandpa, or grandma here and there all the time. He was driving his grandparents vehicles to the shop to wash them and back. Everyone got more and more comfortable with the idea and always had something Luke was needed to drive to. I still tried to have him take the 4 wheeler or get a ride when he could. The 4 wheeler wasn't the safest with our old neighbor who drives way too fast, can't se,e and takes up the whole road. Before long, Luke started driving Grandpa Orrie's Ford truck. It became a daily driver, sometimes making multiple trips. He never goes more than to the shop or grandparents, everything is within 5 miles. He is safe, cautious, and wears a seat belt. He loves the freedom, loves to drive and has his eye on buying a neighbor's old pick-up, following in his brothers footsteps.
