A few months ago, Lydia went from not ever driving anything to wanting to drive everything! Dave has this old lawn mower without a deck on it rigged up to his sprayer. Every time he has sprayed this summer, Lydia asks to drive it. So when he finishes, she drives it for a while. She drives in the front yard, where there aren’t many things to dodge! Every time she comes by us, even if it’s the 100th time, she waves.
Last night she was driving. Dave, Layton and I were on the front porch watching her and waving each time she went by! I had to run inside for a minute. I planned on getting my camera on my way back out. The first time she drove by herself this summer she had been playing dress up. It was late one Sunday afternoon. When she asked to drive, he said ok and she jumped on it, Snow White dress and all!! I was so tired that day and I didn’t have the energy to get the camera. I have regretted it ever since. So I intended on getting a picture last night. Before I could get back outside, Lydia came running inside telling me that she had run over the bushes. She was laughing so I really didn’t know what to believe. She was anxious to show me her work as she called it. On the way out, I asked what her daddy said and she said, “He just said, Lydia you got to pay more attention”. The funny part was that she sounded just like him while telling me. So I go outside and Dave starts telling me the story… She got too close to the porch and was waving and watching he and Layton, not where she was going, and BAM. She ran up on the front porch, through all the shrubs in front of the house. Thankfully no one was hurt and Dave was there to handle the situation! Layton is in a phase right now where she says Oh My Gosh for everything. Of course after it all happened she yells, ”Oh My Gosh”! I am so sorry that I missed it but have laughed thinking about it all day today.
