A while ago I posted a blog about the slide that a very nice lady gave to us for free, for Luke! Well, at first, Luke showed very little interest in it. He was still a bit too young I think. Then, slowly he started showing an interest, and tried to climb up it. He has now been able to climb up the slide with fair ease for a while, however he hasn't been able to get down yet. He would kinda just step off the top, and hope that one of us would be there to catch him.
We have been trying to show Luke how to go down on his belly, feet first, like we have been teaching him to climb off the bed or couch.
Well, about a week ago, he finally attempted it on his own... he did it a couple times, but then when back to his 'I jump, you catch me' routine.
Today, Luke has his buddy Brent over to play... I think he decided it was time to act like the bigger boys...
He went up, and down, up and down the slide over and over again... and then he got smart, and decided that his Snuggle Monkey needed a turn too... I thought it was pretty cute... he would climb up the back with Mr Snuggle Monkey, and then when he reached the top, throw Snuggle Monkey down the slide, and then go down after him, only to go around the back again, and start over. LOL.

It's so fun to watch him developing new skills, and changing into a little boy. He is definitely a very physical boy...he likes to climb, and rough and tough it all the time.

That is so cute. And actually kind of funny how he's nearly as long as the slide is! What a big kid. He's already down before he's hardly begun to slide. Maybe it's time to move on to sliding sitting so he actually gets a ride! :) I loved the everything walks post too - I so remember those days of finding all my items in the most random places. I remember thinking, "why is my toothbrush in my bed? Oh yes, because Benjamin lives here." :)
