half day

wednesday parker had a 1/2 day. it was such a nice day. we rode bikes to the park. how quincy never got tierd carrying her little sister up the stairs; over and over again, to go down the slide is beyond me. her willingness to always include her baby sister melts my heart. the way conway was and is bound and determined to accomplish every last thing his big brother and sister do always makes me smile. and little parker's strive to overcome any kind of challenge leaves me feeling so proud. i "bet" that he couldn't make it across the entire monkey bars; these are hard ones. i had just tried, and couldn't do it...how could my 5 year old possibly show me up! he flung his legs back and forth till he had enough umph to reach to the next bar. i laughed the whole time, as the competitiveness came out in him. the feeling of success as he reached for that last bar, was something i hope he experiences often. and as these special qualities shine through in each of my children, they will continue to leave me speachless. quincy and conway fought the whole way home, tilley slept, and parker rode along side us.
