Climbing

 Scott loves to climb.

He ever since he was mobile he has loved to climb.

Back then it was stairs.

As he has become more active he has simply increased the climb.

On this particular day my visiting teachers came over along with one of their little girls who is Scott's age and one of his good friends.

So we let them go play while we all visited.

We should have guessed something was up with how quiet it was.

How many stories start with that phrase?

Well when we finally stopped jawing away and went to get the kids this is what we say.

He had never gotten up there before.

I was stunned.

Part of me was thinking, "Holy Cow! What if?!"

The other part of me was thinking, "Way to go kid!"

He hasn't really had any falls, just a lot of climbing.

Here he is on top of the SIDE of his rocking chair.

My sister Anne gave it to Scott as she was decluttering my niece's, closet.

He loves it, and not just to sit in or on for that matter.

He loves to tip it over on the back and pretend it's a slide.

He doesn't believe in doing anything customary.
