Our sunshine

Three years ago, Papa Victor and Daddy spent two weeks putting together a play structure for the children. Grandaddy Bob and Grandmommy Mary Jo bought it for them. For a long time little Victor longed to climb it and go down the slide, just like his sisters do. But what little Victor lacks in coordination he gets in self-determination. He has managed to learn to climb the steps with little help and go down the slide all by himself. At first he would land on his bottom and complain when it hurt. Now he lands on his feet and keeps going!

His next plan -- as you can see in the video -- is to learn to climb the ladder to the monkey bars. He's seen his sisters do this too. It may take a while but we are sure he'll do it.
