Again!

Josh has had problems climbing up the ladder to our slide. (Neither of my kids have been climbers, for which I am very thankful!) So he's found a new way to get up.
Actually, it's not so surprising that he's doing this. You spend enough time at the playground and you're gonna see at least 10 kids doing this same thing. But Joshie has a whole routine that goes along with this. (Because just climbing up and sliding down would be pointless, right?)

Here's his process:
  1. Throw the balls up to the 'house'. Many will bounce out and you will have to throw them again. And again. And again. But eventually you will get all of them to stay up there where they so obviously belong!
  2. Climb up the slide. If Mommy is watching, all the better - it's good to give her ol' ticker a jump start every once in a while.
  3. Throw all the balls that you so carefully got up to the house down the slide. You don't even have to watch them go down. The balls are not the point of this whole thing. Wait, yes they are. Oh well, whatever.
  4. Slide down to the balls.
  5. Repeat. Again. And again. And again.
Just in case you want to see this spectacular display, here you go:

Now that was pure entertainment. You need to wax his diapers so he can get some speed on the way down.
