The teacher

The last driving lesson, I drove on the highway and the speed limit was 55. I was very nervous because I didn't like going over 40. I was so tight, I started to lose the feeling in my left hand from gripping the steering wheel. When I turned off the highway and on to another road, I was glad to see the speed limit was 45. By that time I decided to tell the instuctor about my hand because by then I was a little concerned that I couldn't feel my left thumb. He told me to lower my hands on the wheel and after a while I got the feeling in my hand back. I did some merging and changing lanes. I think the lesson went well.

The "Doggie Paddle"


Driving around things and making turns at the right speed and time isn't easy to do. In this picture Mom is doing the "doggie paddle". She does this when we're not turning or going around an object like a car or trash can.
I asked Mom to do the "doggie paddle" for the picture.

Driving to the chinese restaurant

A few days ago we went driving to a chinese food place. Molly did well. I don't think there were a lot of cars. Molly drove there and I drove back. I think I did okay, I drove through a parking lot, I accidentally ran a stop sign there. When I pulled into our driveway I went to fast and gave Mom and Molly a couple of G forces. The driveway is a little bit before an incline so pulling in makes me a little nervous. I think it went pretty well.
