Hayley got her learners license today. It took her a few times. When I say a few, it was more than 3 and less than 5. At 14, she thought it is an easy test and didn’t study. Now that I think about it, I am not sure she had the book the first time she wrote it. The second time, she had reviewed the book and remember the questions she got wrong. 3rd time was close, she had read the book, did some practice tests. Now #4.. it's do or die. It took her older sister Cassidy 5X, this is where sibling rivalry comes in handy. We changed locations for luck, and studied a little harder. It is amazing what being prepared does. She passed with only one question wrong. Now she wants to drive. Hayley believes that she has prior driving experience because of Wii Mario cart. "Mom, I got this" is not reassuring as she slams on the brakes to stop. A few more grey hairs on my head have appeared. As we drove through the neighborhood with my finger nails firmly planted in the dash, I saw one of my friends pushing her son in the stroller. It seems like yesterday that it was Hayley. Everyone always warned me that they grow up too fast. To me, it could never happen soon enough. Especially when none of the girls were sleeping through the night. Now, at that moment it was sadly true. Hayley is sleeping through the night, driving my car, but..... she still is my baby.
