his heart was pounding.

heart a poundin'
all buckled in with a few words of advice from daddy
at the starting gate---holding on tightly
and he is off!

as we waited in line for the go cart race, wyatt was standing unusually still. i say unusually because if you know wyatt you know he does not really stand still. his hand was over his heart and i said "wyatt are you okay?" he then said "yes, but my heart is pounding so hard because i am SO excited!" it was his first time driving a go-cart alone with no one in the car with him---alone! my heart of course starts pounding, what if he cannot steer, what if he pushes the gas instead of the brake, what if what if what if! of course, that is how i always am :) anyway, we hand in our ticket and off we go...todd and owen, me and grace, and wyatt and himself! he did a GREAT job and had no trouble. for a car crazy boy i guess this would have to be a right of passage. he often says to me "i really don't want to grow up but boy do i want my driver's license!" well baby today was the first step!
