I wanted to post this picture of my son Samuel. He has no fear! He asked me if he could jump from the top step of the stage(that you can see in the pic)? I replied, "You can do anything if you want to do it bad enough." He said that he was going to do it, and that he was also going to do something fun in the pic also.
Stepping on a soapbox...
I totally believe that we teach to much fear to our children these days. Yes, we can give them guidance and direct them, but we need to let them PLAY. We need to let them get rug burn, or a cut from climbing a tree. Samuel has learned to respect gravity, but he also knows that he is strong enough to test his metal against once in a while.
Stepping off soapbox...
He is a natural CrossFitter. If he can get his hands around something, he will try to climb it. If it is heavy, he trys to lift it. If you tell him he can't do something, he will exhaust all his energy to prove you wrong.
Keep flying buddy!!!
