My big boy!

I know it sounds so small in the grand scheme of things, but a mothers pride over what her child does has no limit to how large or small the task. Yesterday Lucas went down the slide all by himself!!

He has been going down the slide for a long time but he always needed help sitting down at the top of the slide before going down. If I wouldn't help him he would just start walking down the slide, and if I weren't there to catch him I am pretty sure he would have really gotten hurt a few times. But yesterday he walked straight up to the smaller slide and sat down and slide all alone! (seriously, no coaxing from me) Then today we just got back from the playground again where he even dared go down the really big swirly slide alone! I love being a mom, it is the most rewarding thing ever.
