This past weekend we attended the local Oktoberfest. They had a section of kid oriented booths, with crafts and the sort. What they also had was this tall rock climbing structure that kids lined up for a turn. Aidan surprisingly said he wanted to climb it. I was surprised because he's really not the most physical type. Since he's started kindergarten I'd have to say he's gotten a little more involved in real physical play, jumping, monkey bars, climbing etc...but rock climbing, really!? Well he did it, he took his turn and he did well. He wasn't able to make it to the top, which most kids his size didn't but he made it halfway. He was disappointed for not making it but we all gave him kudos for trying and for making it as far as he did....and for trying something new!
