Driveway Adventures


Lizzy got a pair of roller skates for her birthday, and she has really taken to them. It's amazing how good she's gotten in a relatively short amount of time. When she began, she would walk in tiny steps very cautiously. Now, she's picked up the pace, and has even begun gliding a little bit. I know very soon she will be a pro. It's already well established that Peter is a plasma car professional. He can zoom and zip all around, steering through any obstacle. The other afternoon the kids were playing on the driveway and I was admiring their various wheeled talents. If you stop to think about it, you can measure a lot from your driveway adventures. I remember when Lizzy was only one, pushing her little toy around the driveway, so proud of herself. I remember Lizzy and Peter pushing their strollers around, Lizzy with a baby and Peter's piles high with blocks. I remember pushing Peter around in his toy car, and Lizzy riding on her princess scooter. I remember Lizzy getting her first bike, and being amazed watching her pedaling around, Peter chasing after her. Now it's wonderful to see both kids zipping and zooming around, laughing together and having so much fun. Yup, a lot happens on the driveway, if you take the time to notice.
