Different and both great

Sometimes you don't realize who your children are until you see other children. Today we had one of Ek's dearest friends to play, Kardyn (Kd). Ek showed Kd how she could ride her bike without training wheels. Kd is more athletic than Ek, its in her genes. She runs different and is fearless and physical. I knew if Ek could ride her bike without training wheels, surely Kd could. Kd thought so too. She immediately got one Ek's bike to ride. She couldn't, but she tried. In 5 minutes she ran into a tree, a little tykes car, H's bike and an electrical box. Not to mention how many times she ran into the ground. Every time crying, more so because she wanted to get on, and wanted to ride, not so much because she was hurt. Her mother said they will be taking the training wheels off her little bike today. Kd was so determined and confident. She did have several great stretches. Ek, on the other hand, I had to plead for her to ride practice without training wheels. I had to not let her ride H's with training wheels. She has hardly hit the ground trying because she quickly learned how to coast to the grass with feet down for a quiet landing. Tee-hee. Its just so fun to see different personalities. God has made us all so unique and it is such a great thing to live life all together. I can't wait for Ek and Kd to be able to ride together, oh the fun they will have!

I love seeing the fruit of this in how they minister to other kids, esp. little ones. Aisley, much more timid, has a heart for others' struggles and is quick to lend a hand with a sympathetic "aaaawww". Brennan, go, go, go, is ready always to play, distract and start new things. Just as you said...different and both great.
