NASCAR Baby

I so wish I had a camera at the time, but such is life.  At any rate, over and over I'm seeing that Ellie is destined to be a NASCAR driver, or at least some sort of driver.  One day through miscommunication, we left the door out to the garage open (before you call DSS, Buck was just getting something from the car so he wasn't far off).  Ellie snuck outside and we found her in her little Cozy Coupe car.  She has loved that thing for quite some time and screams if anyone else gets near it.  Every time we let her walk outside rather than being carried, she walks directly to that car rather than the van.  At G.G.'s camp, she immediately found the old ride-on truck in her back yard.  One day when we were cleaning out the van, she managed to climb into the van and into the driver's seat, where we found her turning the wheel and adjusting everything.  Not so out of the ordinary, except that it's ALL the time.  But for our most recent and most fun story, a few days ago we found her driving Mom's sewing table.  Mom has an old sewing table for a manual machine.  Although the sewing machine is no longer, the rocking pedal and wheel used to operate the machine are permanantly affixed to the table.  I remember enjoying playing with it when I was little.  At any rate, Ellie was sitting sideways on the pedal using the wheel as a steering wheel, rocking herself left and right.  It was so cute!
