Cy has finally taken to rock climbing. We've been taking him, a bit intermittently, since he was 2 and he has never enjoyed it. But, last week Brad brought him after school and he loved it. He is not afraid anymore and really enjoys climbing up to the top. Last week, he did a few of the lower wall climbs but was not interested in hitting up the 52' wall in the back. So today, he told me he wanted to show me that he could do it. And, he did. All the way up to the top of the 52' wall. Good lord, he is a rock star:) The whole gym was clapping for him, which was cute. Cracks me up when people were saying what a natural he is at 4…aren't all kids natural climbers?! We just become less so when we let fear sneak in as we get older and start to think about all the "what ifs". I just love that he enjoys it because I have always had visions of climbing with my children. In my mind, there is no greater family bonding experience than being out in the mountains, relying solely on each other. I look forward to doing that with both of them as they get a bit older :)
