Driving the Wheel





Since the day he "drove" a firetruck earlier this summer, Finn has been interested in trucks, buses, and really any vehicle that appeared to have a wheel available for him to drive. The zoo parking lot was crowded with school buses one day and Finley declared, "Finley drive the bus! Finley drive the bus!" Other than a few chances to sit in the driver's seat of Mama or Grandma's car, the poor little guy was really feeling deprived.

Yet the days he spent playing with his cousins in Pennsylvania seem to have lent him an important new understanding...He can drive! He just has to stick to smaller vehicles. Finn now spends much of his free time driving trains and cars and trucks. He even keeps himself very entertained driving matchbox trucks while riding in his stroller. Yesterday he decided the candy and gum shelves in the checkout aisle at the grocery store were perfect platform for driving.
