Four Steps No Problem

Last summer the twins were just little guys, who were new to walking, running and climbing. We were very careful to keep them safe by controlling their playground toys. For instance, we started last summer with only two-step slides. Towards fall we added a three step model, which they negotiated without difficulty. At a garage sale I had also found a great deal on a four step slide, but Mommy believed it was too advanced for them last year. We stored it until this week and introduced it to our yard in anticipation of our first warm 2010 days. As the temperature touched 65 degrees this afternoon the boys kicked off the year’s first backyard play by heading directly to the new equipment. Under Mommy’s watchful eyes Benji eagerly climbed the four steps and slid easily down the slide as if he’d done it a thousand times before.
