The Sherpa
The other day, I turned my back on Lincoln for about 40 seconds as he disappeared down the hall. I went to get him and he was no where to be found! Turns out, he was upstairs! He has discovered that he can get all the way to the top in about 30 seconds and he loves it. So I set up a gate so he is blocked off from the stairs, and he hates it! He stands at the gate and just yells. He climbs on everything. If he can stand up to something, it's not long before he is working his hardest to get a leg up. So Lee calls him "the sherpa". I didn't know what a sherpa was, Lee said it's a guide for mt. everest. very fitting. Ethan has had several birthday parties lately and he is really into playing with friends. He is doing so well in his speach. Mason is still just busy, and he is reading a chaper book a day. I can't get him to put his book down! He just got tested for reading at school and he is at a 5th grade reading level! He has definately got the reading bug!

The Sherpa is a perfect nickname for a climber!! Actually, they are an ethnic group in Tibet and the Himalayas, and most climbing guides hired for climbing Everest are from the Sherpa tribe. Tensing Norgay was the Sherpa that Sir Edmund Hilary hired to take him up to the top. And yes, I already knew all that. (nerd). I can't wait to see Linc climbing all over the place! Love you!!!
Way to go on haveing a reader...I think some are born that way and the rest you have to push, beg and bribe!
Neither one of my kids were climbers when they were young...I hear it can be quite amazing and a challange!
