Isaac had his first behind-the-wheel driving lesson today, so his permit is now officially valid.

So naturally, when we passed an empty elementary school parking lot on the way home, I pulled in so he could show me what he'd learned.

And honestly, for someone who'd never driven before, he did pretty well! He was relatively calm, listened to and responded to my corrections positively, and was actually enthusiastic about improving.

I was reasonably confident going in that he'd do just fine, and I'm grateful that my prediction panned out.
