Braxton has been eyeballing the rock wall at the YMCA since we became members early this summer. He actually wanted to climb the very first day we walked in, however you have to be 4 in order to attempt a climb. So the day finally arrived and her was so excited to get suited up.
First of all, the rock expert went to put the kids helmet on Brax, but it didn't fit, so he had to wear the adult helmet. He has a huge head. Next Braxton asked the lady, " Why you put this on my head?" To which she replied, "So you don't hurt your head if you fall." His eyes popped open. I really don't think he ever contemplated that falling was an option. I think he thought once you were on the wall, you hung on like spiderman. I saw a moment of reconsideration in his big blue eyes.
Once Brax got started, he was unstoppable. He got alot higher then mommy thought he would. He was lacking about 3 feet to the top of the 25 foot wall. What a champ! Braxton really wanted to try again, but his little body was just so tired. The wall really takes it out of you. He can't wait to go back and try again. Mommy doesn't mind, it wil give her a reason to get in the gym.
