Another big boy activity that we have been waiting to do was a trip to the climbing gym. We went over the July 4th holiday weekend and hooked Luc up to a belay rope. He quickly learned the terminology and always asked his belayer, "On belay?" Before starting his ascent. After a few false starts, he did quite well on the walls and even managed to climb up higher than Mommy could reach to support him. His favorite part was the bouldering wall. Actually, he enjoyed the crash pad beneath the wall the best. He would climb up about 5 feet or so, then throw himself on to the crash pad. (For the nervous grandparents in the audience: Luc was under parental supervision at all times!) He is a natural, and even scored some comments from fellow climbers that we had a litte Spiderman on our hands.
