Last summer we decided it was time for Bubs to lose the training wheels. We were hit with strong resistance. So, we do what all good parents do...we took the bike to therapy.

Seriously the choices that he was making worried me. But it was the look in his eyes that truly scared me. It was a look that showed defiance, a stronghold, and rebellion. The exact opposite ...

On a piece of construction paper, I drew six arched lines. We talked about the order of colors in a rainbow. I poured Fruit Loop cereal into a 9x13 pan. We started with ...
