And, here is Parker, the great mountain
climber of Saxonburg, PA, attempting to scale the rugged peaks of Mansestairs
to Secondfloor. Parker is accompanied by his Mom to make sure his
climb is safe.
After reaching the top, Parker hopes
to travel to Africa and climb the twin peaks of Kilimanjaro (how'd that
Monty Python reference get in there?!?!?).
Parker's second climb of the mountain
Mansestairs to Secondfloor was caught on film by his Father, who braved
the climb beforehand. See the intensity on Parker's face as he negotiates
the terrain. Look how he finds a crack between the steps and skillfully
places his hands and feet within for support. What an awesome climb!
In all seriousness, though, when we found
he could climb stairs, we were both overjoyed and somewhat dismayed.
A pastor-friend told me that once in a child's life, he or she will learn
to climb the steps and learn how to fall down them. I like the climbing
part - we are afraid of the falling part. Maybe we should buy climbing
gear for him?
