a glimpse into the future with mck!

if only i had the video camera out . . .
picture this . . .
mck had to drive the cinderella car into the garage when we were cleaning up the other day. i am watching her . . . she backs the car straight into a tree . . . a really LARGE tree at the end of our driveway . . . and NEVER turns around to see what she's hit. in fact, she keeps her foot on the gas pedal until i yell at her and ask her if she realizes she's hit the tree. she takes her foot off the pedal, turns around, looks, and says "oh!". . .
then she starts down the driveway. the van is parked all the way to the right side of the driveway. she proceeds to drive around the right side of the van . . . where there's NO chance she'll make it into the garage. in fact, she knows this, so she drives off the driveway and straight into the trashcan. i ask her again what she's doing and what she's thinking. she replies with "i don't know." i tell her to back the car up and drive it around the van and into the garage.
she backs it up. again, without looking. she runs straight into bailey's truck. in fact, she hits the truck so hard that she wedges the car underneath the step on the side of it and shatters the taillight of the cinderella car.
at this point, i just took over. grounded her from the car for a week and drove the car into the garage myself. when i had her tell daddy "what happened to the car?" she answered, "i don't know!" bailey asked a million questions including asking her how she would pay for the taillight :) . . . we stopped mid-conversation and realized we'll be having this conversation for REAL in about 12 years with little mck. she is so darn cute, but such a mess! :) sweet baby girl! :)
