UA--We would have let you climb the gate if we had had a gate. Wasn't letting you play with small nuclear weapons enough? Plus we let you sleep wherever you wanted to sleep.

[Image]Due to the fact that we live on a ranch, we have lots of gates around to keep cows where we want them. Desert Boy is in a climbing phase and has discovered that the gates are excellent places to practice his climbing skills. [Image]Desert Boy starts climbing, and shows a remarkable amount of coordination. [Image]The spacing between the bars increases with each step, making it more of a challenge for a short little kid. [Image]Nevertheless, he makes it up higher and evaluates the top bar. [Image]To my huge surprise, he shows some restraint and doesn't get himself stuck on top of the fence. He's good at climbing up, but not so good at coming back down. [Image]Desert Boy spent about 10 minutes climbing up and down the gate. I just happened to capture this angelic expression. It makes him look so serene, doesn't it? Check out the video below and you'll see that he's really a bundle of energy, energy I wish I could tap into!

Does he use the climbing wall upstairs any?

The absence of any VROOM VROOMs is quite alarming. Surely he has a dedicated climbing melody.

Desert Boy is so lucky, my parents never let me do ANY of that stuff!
