Climbing

'I'm scared!'

'I cannot!'

Actually all he needed was a word of encouragement and assurance that he was doing just fine.

Reminds me of Jay Chou's 《蜗牛》(snail),where a snail perseveres with its every heavy shell to climb upwards, where the vast skies await.

《蜗牛》

该不该搁下重重的壳
寻找到底哪里有蓝天
随着轻轻的风轻轻的飘
历经的伤 都不感觉疼

我要一步一步往上爬
等待阳光静静看着它的脸
小小的天 有大大的梦想
重重的壳裹着轻轻的仰望

我要一步一步往上爬
在最高点乘着叶片往前飞
任风吹干
流过的泪和汗
总有一天我有属于我的天

Seems like both our 2nd kid are less daring (compared to the first born). Could it be their way of getting our attention?

Ian is a doll ... and is getting so big. Thanks for the encouragement, Mom! xx

PS: I hope you got my message.

I like the look of determination on his face; Ian may be cautious, but it looks to me like he also knows how to face challenges and persevere. Great photo, mommie.

I can't belive how much Ian has grown, bless him. He's a lucky little boy to have his mommy there to proctect, help and guide him.
