In 2008 hubby bought our oldest son a Strider bike and I was a little upset at the price tag.  Over the years I have come to realize that the up front price tag is nothing!  This weekend little brother decided that he wanted to ride a pedal bike and so he did.  There was no running behind him up…

Just Momma and Me

One really nice thing about big brothers being gone is it has allowed me to spend some one on one time with little brother.  We have had lots of time to snuggle.  While we have been at parks I have engaged with him and him alone.  For nap times I have laid down next to him in his bed or…
