I'm a BIG boy!

And he just keeps getting bigger and older. Luc, that is. He recently outgrew his cute little toddler train bed (literally! His feet were hitting the bottom of the bed) so we passed it along to another little boy and purchased a set of bunk beds from IKEA. Luc loves his new bed(s) and switches between the top and bottom bunk at will. Since the train bed went, so did the train wall clings. We surprised Luc with big dino clings for his walls. It is now truly a big boy room. If you come to visit our house, expect the hard sell to sleep on the bottom bunk.






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.
