Matthew the Brave

 Mattie has amazed us on our last couple trips to the playground by doing all sorts of new things!  He climbed a ladder at the blue playground that has a gap between the ladder and the platform, and he didn't need or ask for any help!  (I didn't even realize they were big enough to do that on their own yet.) He also scaled the climbing wall with only minimal help, and he's tall enough to reach the high rings by himself from the platform at the Community Park.  He's suddenly very brave! Perhaps it's from conquering the deep end of the pool at Grandma and Grandpa's house (with his lifejacket, of course).  :)
