Our 5yo learned to climb trees yesterday.π΄ Δ°t’s now the first thing she wants to do when she wakes up, and such a welcome change from wanting to watch tv!
In two days, she’s gone from scared to fearless to scratched all over.π©Ή She’s finding her balance and is more surefooted, wanting to climb higher and higher with each step.πββοΈ It’s a good thing the fruit trees in the garden are not that tall, or else I’ll be a pinned to the garden too, watching her like a hawk.π
It’s amazing to see her having fun and learning to trust her body at the same time. Hats off to her babanne and visiting abla (older sister or friend) who showed and encouraged her to do it.πββοΈ
From scared to fearless in under 10 minutes–we have so much to learn from children πͺ
Some other things I learned:
β
οΈPlum trees are small but terrible: they’re super strong and are good for climbing.
β
οΈ Apricot trees are strong too and easier to climb because they fan out in a more regular way.
β
οΈ I should’ve climbed trees as a child! So glad Su got to climb her first tree today.
β
οΈ Grandmothers are really konsintidor π
πOn Blue Day, why not try something that will let you get to know your body in a new way: a new HIIT routine, dance move, go through hoops or ninja class or maybe, even climb a tree!π³
