As in altitude. 8 feet of altitude.
My 4 yo yelled up to his little brother, "Show me how, show me how!"So my 2 and 1/2 yo climbed down and gave a lesson.
"Do this."
The mount is the hardest part. My 4 yo isn't very strong, but he watched his little brother's technique intently.
"Oooops, this is the Wrong way."
"I do this."
"Hi."
My 4 yo was next. It was really, really hard for him; I'm sure the cowboy boots didn't help. He fell a few times. Each time he fell his little brother would ask him, "Are you all right?" It was so sweet it made my heart ache.
Eventually my 4 yo figured out how to utilize his long legs instead of trying to depend on upper body strength.
Trees in Springtime, cooperating brothers, backyard knitting, healthy and climbing 2 yo- blessings all, even though one of those things is rather terrifying.
Visit Thankful Thursday for more shared blessings.

I love this. Great pics too. We have a huge old oak tree in the back yard and the Fab5 love to hang out in it. They all pick a branch and lay on it and laugh and talk. Its one of the few times they don't bicker and fight. I love that old tree = peaceful.
that is very sweet, and wow, you have a very active 2 year old! love the pics.
So precious.
An old oak tree would be wonderful!
Thanks for the compliments on the photos- most of them were taken by my 10yo dd.
love the photos and the story...boys are so brave, aren't they?
Terrifying, and yet you still let them do it--grand! And the pictures are really fun!
Cristy, I think of it as peer directed (and free) physical therapy.
Can I just say that I just knew you would have a white picket fence!! I love your life :-)
The Girl, I wish I could claim the picket fence- it's actually our neighbors. I've always loved the picket fence/cottage garden look.
Aww how sweet!
