Katelyn has been climbing for years now. I have to watch her though because if I let her she would surely climb to the very tippy-top of the tree!
Yesterday was Connor's first time climbing the tree. He is a bit more cautious then the girls are, thank goodness! He did great though and I was very proud of his new self confidence...
Under the tree is a huge rock that the kids climb on to then get onto the tree. My rule has always been that the kids can't get on the rock unless they can get on it themselves. In other words no one is aloud to help them get onto the rock. With the older two they were a bit more then four when they could finally get on the rock. Well, not my Maggie! She started getting up on it when she was still two! I really have to watch her because I have no doubt that she would be swinging from the branches if I let her! By the way, I only allow her to climb up the first two branches...
Oh I love the pictures-it is fabulous (fab as I say) that they can do that. I am sure that your heart is beating 200 miles a minute when they are climbing up. Kate looks like a pro.
