something really special

I caught a sweet moment between my two little ones yesterday. HP decided he did want to ride his little baby bike (a small tricycle), so Ara let him hop on hers and helped guide him around. I managed to record the last minute or so on my cell phone.

After his attempt at riding the big bike, HP began asking for one of his own. I gave the standard answer, "ask your dad" :) Of course dad couldn't say no, so we load up the van and head to the store to purchase the big boy bike.

It was so fun to watch HP jump and clap over what he calls the spider-man bike. The whole way home he talked about who he was going to show his bike to and kept reminding dad to drive slow and not go over any bumps that might hurt his bike in the back of the van.

He called his papaw on the phone and told him, "i got something really special! it is a big red and blue bike!" He invited him down to watch him ride it and asked if he could take it up to the barn and ride it around up there.

I was so proud of how well HP was riding his big boy bike and so very proud of Ara for being a supportive big sis who never complained once that HP was getting something new. She just shared in his moment :) sweet girl.
