Driving

This evening, after my wife picked up Troy from his daycare, Troy climbed into the driver's seat, as he likes to do every day. He likes to pretend that he's driving the car, turning the steering wheel and pushing the buttons. Usually, she lets him play for a few minutes and then coaxes him back to his car seat in the back before heading home. But today, she decided to treat him and let him actually drive! So, she plopped him on her lap and let him steer the car around the relatively empty parking lot. He was in heaven, turning the steer wheel back and forth, as they weaved around parking barriers and in between cars. The smile lighting up his face rivaled the evening sun coming through the front windshield. Troy would have been content going around and around, but my wife finally had to park the car, so that they could go home. I'm afraid that now he's going to expect to drive every night!
