I'm watching Dave play Guitar Hero--Aerosmith Edition. He's already conquered the tutorials and is all set to play for a crowd. This husband o' mine has been asking for Guitar Hero for a looong time, especially since we played Guitar Hero--World Tour at a family party a few weeks ago. So when it came time for me to get him an anniversary present, I didn't have to think too hard. By the grace of God, I was able to keep it a secret since I ordered the game on Amazon.com last Thursday. It arrived today, and I ran right home on my lunch break to get it set up for him.
As we walked in the door tonight after work and a driving lesson for Dave (he conquered one of the main roads in our town today--hooray!), I couldn't help but smile as I waited for Dave to notice the present I'd set in front of the TV. It took him a few minutes, but once he saw the box, his mouth dropped open and he stared in disbelief. I had so much fun watching his reaction!
So, back to the driving lesson. Dave's had some practice time with me since he aced his permit test, but we've stuck with parking lots and the occasional side streets. Today, Dave had his first lesson with a professional, who took him all over the area. With his confidence high, he offered to drive us home, and we survived with just a little bit of freaking out on both parts.
Really, though, he's a great student. He's so much more attentive than I ever was as a 15-year-old learning how to drive. Maybe they really should bump up the driving age.
