Persistent Spider Monkeys

Since our climbing debut on the girls' birthday weekend, we've been back to climb every weekend (save the one when we were snowed in!).  The girls love it, and so does their mama!


There are numerous walls, with varying degrees of difficulty.  One of the most challenging has this shelf with lots of angles.  Last weekend, Baby A set her sights on conquering it.

She tried...and she tried...and she tried.  I asked her a couple of times if she wanted to take a break...to have some water...to rest for a minute...to try another wall for a bit.

No.

She was intent on getting to the top of this one.


She tried different tactics.  This angle.  Then another one. 

If I had to guess, I'd say she probably tried at least 15 times...and she just kept trying...trying to figure out how to go up from one direction and then pivot to head in another.

Until...


SHE DID IT!!! 

I was so proud of my persistent little spider monkey.  And she surely was proud of herself.
