The earth is the LORD'S, and all it contains, The world, and those who dwell in it. -Psalm 24:1

Don’t ask me why we never tried this until our third time around with teaching a little one how to ride a bike. Until now, we’ve always used training wheels, run along behind, then release when our little one is ready to take off. Which, in the case of Number 3, was taking longer than desired for a little boy who was struggling to keep up with big brothers. And then we learned this trick: 1. Take pedals off of bike. (Make sure your kiddo’s feet can touch the ground.) 2. Kiddo rides bike Fred Flinstone style. 3. Kiddo learns balance and confidence in a day. 4. The next day (or two), put the pedals back on, and off he goes! Learning to ride a bike. Boom. Done. Piece of cake!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again… This boy is a great big brother.
I’ve called you Sunshine from the day you were born. Seven years later, your smile still radiates. Your big brother called you Chicken Nugget. Seven years later, you two are still like ketchup and french fries. You stole the spotlight from the Taj Mahal when you were six months old. Seven years later, you are still a one-man-show-stopper! You are an artist, a cook, and a comedian… …but most of all, you are greatly loved. Happy Birthday, sweet boy.
Number 4 is taking great pride in his ability to color… …color OVER a perfectly fine picture. He says, “Look! I made the twain disappe-o!” I guess it all depends on your definition of “coloring”!
