"I Like Life!"

As a parent, I can't think of many words I'd rather hear than those that just oozed out of Ben's smiling face: "I like life!" It actually caught me by surprise and I had to stop and think about what a great thing that is. A few months ago, I wrote about Ben joining the two-wheeler club. Well, he was actually just an honorary member. After doing pretty good, suddenly no one could get him back on that bike. Until last week. Ben has found himself!! Something snapped inside his little body, and he is now a stud muffin on wheels. I have been amazed at the confidence and happiness that has come from his new found freedom and ability. He zips up and down our street (stop and pray for him please), no feet at times, and loves being on his "two-wheeler." He wants to be out there all the time and loves keeping up with his big brother. I'm grateful for little triumphs that can bring such joy into a life. Way to go Ben, we're proud of you!!

Very sweet, it's funny how one day they just change there mind and try new things or back to things they struggled with. Wish I could snap into stuff so easily.
