Sam has been trying to climb stuff in the house lately. I was about to say everything in the house, but, so far, he's been staying off the bookcases, the toilet, and other dangerous pedestals. Which reminds me, we need to attach some pieces of furniture to the walls. Anti-tip straps for active boys: good. Big furniture falling over: bad.
Anyways, he's been trying to climb up on this chair we have in the corner. He has had to ask us "up", and we'd lift him up onto the chair. Now he can do it himself. It is so fun to watch him figure stuff out and accomplish things.
Now, you could say that we're sitting back and laughing at him while he's being very brave and trying very hard. But, really, I'm restraining myself from helping so he can learn on his own. This video was preceded by multiple attempts to talk him through it and sitting on the floor right next to him. And, yes, he did bump his head a little, but we all get some bumps going down the road of life. I am so proud of him that he accomplished this big feat all by himself. And he thought ahead and brought reading material!

He's growing up so fast and learning so much. I'm proud of him and his parents.
And I love that he did it this time with a book in his hand. He had been doing it before this without the book, but figured it out. Go SAM!
He is one smart little dude! The funnest part of watching him is observing how he figures the best way to do it for himself! Brings back memories of when his dad was little.
Such a big effort for such a little man!! This was a great video! Way to go Sam!!!!
