Our oldest was a reluctant driver, and I am kicking myself for not getting her permit before March 2020 when she was eligible the previous December, because all those empty roads would have been great to learn on!

If we get our act together he can do the school driving next year. Fingers crossed! I imagine having a reliable teen driver is similar to when you finally don't have to pay for babysitters anymore... SO liberating!!!
