Watch Out! A 4-year-old with a Drivers License

Kallen's favorite thing to do now is drive cars. Anytime we go anywhere, once we stop the car and start unloading, he'll jump into the front seat and go to town. Weston as well has started enjoying the fun. His favorite button is the hazard lights, Kallen's favorite thing is the horn. Inevitably, their love for buttons means that most days I turn on the car and the air is on full blast, the left or right turn signal is blinking in the corner of my dash, and usually the windshield wipers are swishing back and forth. All compliments of their excellent driving skills.


Cute story, the first time Weston ever tried driving the car, we were parked outside of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts waiting for Kallen and my Mom to come back. Weston loved every minute of it, but the cutest thing he did was accidently turn on the radio. When the music suddenly turned on, it at first scared him and he jumped. But once he got over the initial shock of what he had done, Weston smiled and said, "music...lets dance". Then he proceeded to wiggle his whole body to the beat. It made it even more cute that the radio was on some kind of Spanish station, so it was a fun upbeat Mexican song. It made me laugh.

*Update: Word of caution: If you let your kids play in the car, make sure they close the doors completely afterwards, or you might find yourself with a drained battery.
