Friday Nephblogging–Behind the wheel (and in and over and through)
Posted by Roberta Lipp on September 14, 2007
Benjamin is now 17 months old. So why not give him the keys to the car?
(No, I don’t know what is wrong with the code and what the @&$% is causing there to be six miles of space before you can see the first picture. Just scroll, please.)
My brother puts the keys in the ignition and turns it halfway. There is not a knob, button, or lever that this kid is not interested in turning (or pushing, or… whatever you do with a lever).
Eventually my brother asks me to turn the key the rest of the way. Because unless the engine is on, Benjamin can’t really turn the steering wheel. Which he likes doing.
I’m not gonna lie… he is the cutest thing going, and also endlessly fascinating to watch. Not only because he is the cutest thing going, but also because he is kind of brilliant and clever and his curiosity and sophistication are really beautiful.
But uhh… I suspect my brother will someday, and not too far away from now, regret his decision to give the kid the keys to the car. Just a guess.

Cuter still are his Old Navy pajamas. Or, to be specific, him in them.
