He got it!

Another milestone was reached yesterday - little Mike got his driver's permit. I think I was more nervous than he was. I watched him intently through the glass as he took the test, like I was sending him telepathic good luck. Amanda thought it was a riot. Everyone that came out before him after getting their results, I could tell if they passed or failed. Three people failed in a row, then one passed, and another, and I told Amanda the tables were turning...lol. Then one more passed, then Mike came out. We waited in anticipation as the man at the counter scored his test. I watched as he ticked off the wrong answers. One, two, three...then he stopped and said "congratulations, you passed"...woohoo!

We went to the other counter and Mike got his picture taken and left with a nice shiny new permit. I offered to let him drive partway up our road to the house so he could show off to his dad, who was home waiting...but he declined. He wants to start at a parking lot...smart kid. :)
