Grady Is Growing Up

Grady has been trying to ride his tricycle for the past month or so and has been having a hard time because his legs are too long. So, we broke down and bought him a big boy bike. He was so excited! We went to the store and let him ride all of them and let him choose one that he liked. He actually liked another one that we didn't so we convinced him that this one was better. (Is that bad? :) So, we got the bike home and he and Hans went for a ride. He was so excited to try it out that he was just smiling ear to ear. We got his helmet on and away they went. Well, about 20 minutes later he came walking in the door crying. He got his first scraped knee and he was not happy. He needed a bandaid right away and some medicine too. Then, when it finally stopped hurting he let us clean it up and put a new bandaid on it. When we were praying before bed this is what he said, "Thank you for a good day, playing in the sandbox, getting my new bike, and Jesus, can you make my ouchy feel better in the morning please." Gotta love it! Anyway, I'm sure there are going to be many more bumps and bruises, but he sure loves his bike.
