Welcome to Throwback Thursday -- blog style! This post originally ran on December 13, 2012. Here you can see why we finished our basement the way we did!
More Monkey Pictures
As promised ... more Alan monkey pictures!
See the plywood on the left side? That is to protect wires and copper tubing that he was trying to use to climb. Thank goodness DH is handy! |
scaling the support pole ... the kid has "monkey toes" |
Climbing up the basement banister Note it is now a 2"x4" because he broke the original banister |
Squeezing into a cubby in the basement |
Another tree he likes to climb at his aunt's house ... several people observed that the statue is probably watching over him! |
The kid's flexibility is amazing! |
My BIL commented that he looks like the vulture on Snoopy's doghouse! |
More balance beam work |
High up in the tree |
He had been trying to climb the shelves in his closet. Note: the bottom left clothes bar has already been removed ... so have the closet doors but that was years before! |
Somehow he managed to shimmy up on the shelf |
crawling across for variety |
not sure how he got up there in the first place |
oh, maybe like this! |
Doesn't everyone relax on top of the monkey bars? |
just hanging out |
Inside he also resorts to bed burrowing |
Stair diving ... headfirst on his back! |
Hiding in "the tunnel" as he calls it |
Wow! What amazing climbing ability! Really! I would be holding my breath all the time but he looks to do it so capably. Those photos are really great and I enjoyed seeing them so much. Blessings!
