Tuesday night was spent something like this...



with some of this...



and there was also a whole lot of this...



and then a few hours later, we were back to this...



Why, you ask?
 
Because today was the day I was headed here with my baby daughter:




We got there at 8am. We were lucky in that we were the first ones to show up.
 But, {of course} we still had to wait. 
 The waiting only made me her that much more nervous.



Finally, when the DMV guys were finished with their games of Angry Birds,
they took her out for her driving test.

And within minutes, she was back.




She passed! Happy lobby dances began!





Then I had to stand and watch her drive away.




ALONE.



I desperately needed one of these.





Because I was back in this place.




So, then began some more of this.




And then I enlisted the help of all the neighbors.




And the neighbors, neighbors.



Another milestone.

This parenting thing is hard.
