Recently, at the YMCA Casey has been asking to climb the rock climbing wall. He hasn't been on it since his initial attempt, back in Sept. 2012. This past weekend, we had some extra time after his basketball game, so we let him have at it. On his first try, he climbed about half way up... then looked down. And promptly asked to be let down. You could hear it in his voice, he was a little scared. Then, no sooner did his feet touch the ground, he said he wanted to try again. This time, he went all the way to the top, and got to honk the horn! It was the first time he ever made it to the top. We are so proud of him, for wanting to try the rock wall, for making it all the way to the top... but most of all, SO PROUD of the fact that he came down from his aborted attempt, and immediately conquered his fear and jumped right back on that wall and sailed right past his sticking point and ascended to the very top!
