4 Wheeling Fun

This is McKenna's new favorite thing! It is not an exageration when I tell you that Christian drove her around for over an hour today.
The relationship between these two is really starting to change. Christian finally gets it that God made him the big brother so that he can help take care of McKenna (we tell him that all the time). So instead of tormenting her he's starting to find joy in making her laugh and in taking care of her.

And he loves it that she is starting to trust him.
Look at how tightly she holds onto his shirt.


She climbs up onto his four wheeler all by herself and says "Come on Chrish." And he loves it that he's the big brother who can take her for a ride. Today I watched him (while I was mowing) and everynow and then he would stop the four wheeler....get off and show McKenna something like a bird's nest or a flower or a stick. I wish I could have heard what he was saying. It was like he was taking her on a tour of the yard. So cute! They even found a robin egg.
He also loves to get her out of her booster seat at the table after a meal. I think he likes doing that because he gets to pick her up for a minute and usually that's not allowed around here.
And he loves to push her in her swing. He lets her feet "knock" him over onto the ground and he rolls around like a crazy guy while she laughs. It's so sweet to see them actually playing together!
Thank you Jesus!
