the magical life of a 4 year old

 My sweet Cal has a very specific way to do everything in life.  Bed time routine, playing with horses and barns, cleaning up toys, quiet time routine, etc.  Learning to ride a bike was no different. And having help from Dad was not in his plan.  But luckily he was a natural and it only took about 5 or 10 "dad minutes" until he was grinning ear to ear in the proudest smile I have ever seen on his face.    
  And from that moment on, he was independently roaming the neighborhood with his favorite Aunt Lindy by his side.  

Oh, to be 4 years old again and be absolutely sure you are the coolest person in the world.

What a talented little guy! Pretty impressive to be cruising around on only 2 wheels!

Cal can ride a bike! That's awesome! We haven't even taught Ella yet... Really, we better get on that.

But yes, Cal is a cool dude. I'm happy to provide a reference for him on that matter. :)
