I'm finally at the point where the boys can go in the backyard and play by themselves for a while. I can be in the kitchen and see them out the window. I can also hear them, which is good. So, when I looked out the window the other day and didn't see them, I walked outside and I found Jackson high in this tree and Drew was desperately holding onto the trunk trying to climb up as well. He was like 2inches off the ground, poor guy.
So, I told Jackson to come down a couple of branches and lifted Drew up into the tree. He held on for dear life, but was proud that he was up there like his brother. (Oh, if you noticed that he's wearing his Scooby pajamas--that's because he got to wear them to school that day for a pj party)
If there is such thing as a natural climber, Jackson seems to have that skill. He can climb that tree so quickly and he looks surprisingly agile doing it. He also loves to scale the brick wall between our house and our neighbors and then look into other people's yards and reports what he sees. I hope this doesn't turn into a bad habit---either that or he'll make a great spy.

Maybe a treehouse is in the near future. Those trees may not stand a large house but a small one might work well. It is great to see boys being boys.
Two words: Double Trouble
