It is no secret that having five kids age six and under is a lot of work... but sometimes the way they help each other out makes it a lot easier on me.
Like yesterday, for example, when Lee Lee was having trouble riding her "big girl bike" which is a tricycle that requires actual pedaling. She was having trouble moving her feet and steering the tricycle at the same time and I was having trouble helping her move and steer and hold the dog's leash, and push Hunter's stroller.
But, big sister Caroline was so excited to help Lee Lee ride her tricycle that she walked along side Lee Lee, pushing and steering her the entire way around the circle (which is 1/5 of a mile... so it's not a short walk). She did so well helping Lee Lee get the hang of it, that Lee Lee pedaled the second lap almost entirely by herself... certainly she had stretches of doing it by herself.
I am so grateful for these children and for the loving relationships they are building with each other that I pray will last a lifetime.
