Climber Arrived

Tessa is turning three soon and we were really excited about her gift this year.

She is an active girl that is strong and brave so we wanted to give her something to encourage that.

Our package made its way all the way from Mexico from a friend I met through a Waldorf page. We have bought and sold from one another before and lately have been bartering too. I made her a wool ball for her new baby as a partial barter to offset the cost of this climber.

At first, Tessa, of course, had no idea what it was until Daddy went to go hang it up on the hook we already have in the ceiling from our swing (also from the same friend in Mexico).

She was hooked, literally, since it went up.

She has found all sorts of ways to use it and seems to really be enjoying it.

We really can't wait 'til the weather breaks and we can also play with this outside and hang it up in the tree.

I hope that Tessa comes to remember as an adult, a home that was fun and spontaneous. One that is still orderly and honored but one that she climbed in, danced in and dragged mud through with her Momma and Daddy.
