4 Year old Backseat Driver...

If you have ever ridden in the car with us, you would get to hear commentation constantly from Gabriel about our driving. When there is something that he wants to see on the highway (ie a truck) then we are instructed to go faster, or we need to race that same said truck. When Gabe is doing something in the backseat (ie playing with a toy) then we get instructions to slow down because when we go around curves he can't keep ahold of the said toy. While sitting at stop lights with say 2 cars in front of us and the light turns green we are instructed to "GO" because of course the light is green (and from the "Go, Dog Go" book it says "...stop dogs stop the light is red....go dogs go it's green ahead") and that means we go, doesn't seem to matter that we should wait for the said cars in front to move first!

I do have to say he does get a good bit of time "behind the wheel" when around the farm. Daddy, or Nana will let him "steer" the gator or lawn mower. Last night while we were driving back and forth to the chicken house, Sophia wanted a turn to drive and Gabe commented that "she did not have a driver's license, so she couldn't have a turn" we quickly reminded him he didn't have one either, but he wasn't having a word of it, coming up with other excuses like she was too short and couldn't reach the pedals.

I have a feeling Sophia will probally be a worse commentator when she is able to talk, she seems to think the "world revolves around her" and I am sure that the 2 of them will commentate together about Tony and I's driving skills!
