MarioFan passed his driver's permit test several weeks ago. Both of my kids needed a little bit of a push to learn to drive. I didn't mind waiting till they were older as I think 15 is way to young to get a permit. But at 17 it is time to conquer that adult skill!

We went on our first outing at the local high school parking lot to get behind the wheel the first time.

| and then practicing driving and stopping without causing whiplash;) Actually Mariofan did really well. |

| Learning to put gas in the car:) |
We have hired someone to help with driving lessons. It is a retired police officer who owns a driving school. I like this as he has an extra set of brakes in his car which after teaching Firedrake to drive we all decided was worth paying someone for this :). Firedrake is actually a great driver but my anxiety goes through the roof teaching kids to drive on the highway. So, I am relinquishing this responsibility to someone else this time around!

| This driving specialist wasted no time getting MarioFan on the road and said he did just fine. |
Hubs and I will also be taking him out on the road in-between lessons to give him as much practice.
In our state kids must remain on their permit for a minimum of six months before taking their final driving test. However they can wait up till one year before needing to retake the written test. Our goal is to get the driving test done before the year is up. I am more concerned that MarioFan is a safe driver then how fast he obtains his license. I was the same way with Firedrake and she is now a great driver!
