As EB has grown from clumsy toddler into daring preschooler, I have become more and more convinced each day that he is part monkey. Case in point:

My parents have a flag pole in their front yard:

EB very seriously contemplates whether or not he can climb it:

Yep, I think he’s going for it:

Mmm hmm…there he goes:

It’s harder than it looks:

He finally gives up, goes to find his shoes for better grip and enlists the help of his Paw-Paw.

From the time he started walking, which he did for all of two days and then started RUNNING from there on, I could tell there would be much coronary activity in my future. And this is just one example. *sigh*
