Christmas Extended

Due to being in Oregon for Christmas this year, Christmas ended up being stretched between several days. As I mentioned before we had a pre-Christmas before we left and we celebrated Christmas day in Oregon, but one of our presents for Merrick was just too big to bring to Oregon and had to stay behind. When we got home it was like Christmas all over again when Merrick got his climber.

The thing about Merrick is that he is such a physically active child. If something is difficult for him, give him a minute and he will have it mastered. The climber was no different. While he was not entirely sure of himself the first time or two, he became more confident each time. By the second day with it he was a complete pro and Jeremy and I were wondering if we should have bought him a more challenging climber.

In any case, as you can tell by the pictures, he has a blast with his new climber. I don't think he has minded the never ending Christmas one bit.
