Happy Birthday Skyler!

Yesterday, Skyler turned four years old. It's been a rough year - whoever coined the phrase "terrible twos" had never met Skyler. But he's taught me so much patience and humility and I wouldn't change a thing. Though if he'd take a nap every now and then I'd really appreciate it. :)

We had a picnic at the Botanic Gardens and then went to Toys R Us to buy him a bike. When he rode it for the first time at home, he took off down the driveway, got going a little too fast for his liking and then and fell as he was trying to turn. But after a few tears he got right back on to try again. He is still having some trouble turning, mainly because he thinks that to go backwards, he either needs to turn the handlebars completely around or he needs to pedal backwards.
