Fun in the sun (sorry Idahoans - don't read this section)

Beautiful day today - I walk out in the yard with Luke and, as usual, he heads for the play structure. Didn't think much of it. However, he was giggling and kept looking back at me. Maybe thinking I was going to chase him? He climbed on the bottom level and then looked over at me, then he climbed to the next level and looked back at me and laughs. I'd never seen him climb up before. He usually just walks around the bottom level of the structure. Then I realized he was heading for the top!! He was on the 2nd level with only one more to go. I told Anna to run and get the camera and I pulled him back down so I could get his 1st climb to the top on video to show Brett. All this time I thought he was innocently walking around the bottom of the play structure not knowing he was really scoping the place out! Getting ready to make his move. Dangerous! I'm glad I went out with him today - sometimes I just let him play on his own in the yard when the other kids are out there and if I had done that I wouldn't have seen him climb up and probably fall right off the top. After letting him climb a few times, I had to change the configuration of the steps. The middle step had previously been blocked with toys and tea set and pots of dirt, but I had just made the kids clean it up not realizing that would give Luke just what he was waiting for - his freedom to the top! So here it is.

Make sure the volume is on to hear his, "Happy Sounds":)
