Dear Aaron,

Rock climbing is something many people in your family like to do.  So it should come as no surprise that you love to climb on anything and everything.  You like to climb up slides, over big toys and have attempted to climb up walls.  You also attempted to climb up the car (with Daddy’s encouragement).

 
I think it goes without saying that you LOVE climbing up stairs.  Every chance you get, you sprint over to the stairs and beg to climb up.  I don’t give in every single time, but try to let you climb whenever possible.  It really makes things like running up the stairs to get your shoes take way longer than necessary.

Sometimes you get really upset if I don’t let you climb the stairs.  You stand up, hold onto the gate and shake it like an inmate.  You climb onto the bottom step and stand there, rattling the bars.

 

Those pants are just a little long, aren’t they?  Oops.

People keep asking if I want you to start walking.  Based on how much you keep me on my toes now, I’m gonna say no.  No rush.  If you’re climbing like this as a crawler, I think it’s going to be insane once you begin to walk.

Love,

Mommy
