A couple of days before L's party we decided to rake up some leaves as a play invitation.
He played in the pile for a while and had a great time, but ultimately decided that the stairs in the background would be a much more awesome way to spend the day. First he inspected individual leaves and crawled around the yard exploring and then he ended up the steps. He crawled up and down them over and over again. He's so persistent and I love that about him! When he wants to learn something or achieve a goal he will let nothing stand in his way! That quality alone will serve him well in life.
