Riding a tricycle

I have always refused to allow people to set limitations on our Little Louie. From the day he was born I have had two goals for him: I want him to play the piano, and I want him to be a better soccer player than his daddy. Both pretty lofty goals for anyone, but especially more so for him. Well I took off of work on Tuesday, Dec 9 to help get focused on what really matters.

And of course my son reminded me of what matters most.

I accompanied my husband, to pick up Little Louie from preschool. We began to tour the school a bit, but first made a stop in the gym. His OT (occupational therapist) and his PT (physical therapist) saw that we were there and showed us the video of our son riding a tricycle. I couldn't believe my eyes! The little boy who's knees supposedly don't bend very well, was bending them to be able to ride that tricycle.

This I had to see in person!!!! So we, daddy, Lil Louie and I go into the gym to try to see it for ourselves. He needed some encouragement. So I get on one bike and he gets on another. He pulls it over to the gym's bleachers, leans on them to climb on top the bike. And off he goes!!!!! NO WAY!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO LOUIE!

Thank you for reminding me what matters most. Thank you for reminding me to concentrate on all the good in my life. And thank you Lord for not just blessing me with four beautiful children, but for chosing me good enough to parent one of your very special children.
