Daddy... Teach me how to climb a tree!!!


Every since Camden saw Robin's two sons climbing the tree in front of their house, he has wanted to learn how to climb a tree. It was very chilly outside today, but there was no way we could put him off any longer. We loaded up the car and off we went to the park. Camden was very nervous at first and was afraid to go high in the tree. He is always very cautious about everything. Mark climbed up and showed him how it was done. Cam decided that he was finished and wanted to "practice" climbing on the equipment at the park instead of the tree. He had about 10 minutes of "practicing" before he was ready for the tree again. This time, he was ready. I was sitting in the car with Katelyn because it was a little to chilly to have her out to long. All of a sudden I hear Camden screaming and crying. I grab Katelyn and run to the tree thinking he was stuck or something..... He was screaming because Mark wouldn't let him go any higher. He wanted to climb to the top of the tree and Mark told him he was as high as a four year old can go. Once we convinced him that he couldn't go any higher, he had a great time!

Camden - you are just like a little monkey climbing that tree. You probably would have gone all the way to the top if Mom and Dad would have let you. You go boy !!!!
