Just a little praise to my son Kale.

Yesterday he received his drivering learners permit(He's almost 15) I was proud of that but......
Today I took him out for his first lesson. We have a large vacant parking lot close by. It's a great place for him to get a feel for the vehicle he will be learning in.
He's learning in a 1 ton 15 passenger Ford van. We've named it "Das Boot"
After about 10 minutes in the lot I could see he adjusted to the throttle and brakes without any difficulty. We then hit the public streets and even the interstate. Kale showed great confidence and maturity while driving.
I'm a blessed Dad to have kids that believe in themselves and their abilities. Not a "cocky" "I'm better then everyone" attitude but a self confidence that is years above their ages.
Looking forward to watching and assisting my son as he travels to adulthood.
I've said it many times but must say it again.
If I could have written down all the things I wanted in a son before he was born I would have still ended my with Kale.
He's everything I've ever wanted in a Son.

Big Kudos to Kale! Sometime in the next month or so I'll be teaching my second to drive. Hubby lets him drive his jeep offroad already so he has a decent feel for the basics. It'll be lucky me that gets to proof him on the city streets. I did most of the instruction with my older son, too. Slightly hairy every once in a while, but overall a great experience. Have fun with Kale, Steve!

congrats, Shannon
but don't you think you should see how that baby thing works out first?
Jeff and I didn't get married until our child was past ten, and if it wasn't for the damn taxes, I don't think I would have done it
I never quite understand why people get so excited about institutions giving them a paper for their relationships, but the being proposed to is kind of nice
I assume you said "yes", so congrats to Eddie as well

I must say thank you to PINJOHN for the phone time over the last couple of days.
It's always nice to hear a members voice for the first time.
I must admit it was like talking with an old(length of time, not age) friend.
Thanks John.
