Swinging!
Boo has never liked swings. If you put him in a baby swing, he would cling to you for dear life. He would cry and demand to be taken ooouuutttt! He didn’t like swings.
Until today! I don’t know if he was inspired by watching older kids swing, but today he wanted to get in the big kids swing. So, okay, up he went. And I pushed him a little, holding my hand on his back the whole time. And he swung. And he enjoyed himself. So I pushed him some more and started to let go. And he swung. And he enjoyed himself. And he even started pumping a little with his body, back and forth.
My boy was swinging! And he loved it! The dawn of a new era!
P.S. He also climbed up a ladder at the playground by himself for the first time which about gave me a heart attack, but he did it very well! All by himself!
