Abigail has really taken to driving the jeep. At first she didn't realize that she had to keep pushing down on the "gas" pedal to make it keep going. She was real good at pushing it down once, making the jeep jump forward, but then it stopped. After she learned to keep the pedal down, she next had to learn how to steer straight, as she seemed to think she had to wiggle the wheel back and forth; so she would go down the street swerving back and forth left, right, left, right, any way but straight. It took a while, but she has it down pretty well now, including how to shift into either the slow or fast forward speeds and into reverse. She has also learned how to keep her balance on the scooter and was really excited this day when she was able to go a long way without losing her balance.
Whew, all that driving makes a girl thirsty - good thing Gramma had a cold drink she could share.
