He ain't heavy . . .

So, this past Sunday (5/6/07), mom and dad agreed to babysit for Sean at our house while we bowled the last night in our league. A few weeks back, they babysat as well, then spent the night and spent a huge portion of the next day helping us put together a swingset in the backyard for Sean. This past Sunday, all that was left was to install the slide and add plastic rocks to the climbing wall. After it was all finished, Sean was having a blast checking it out and playing on it. The rock climbing wall has plastic rocks and a rope affixed to it to assist with climbing. However, Sean has decided that he likes to climb on the rocks only, and ignore the rope. My mom decided to try to teach him to use the rope, so after he finished climbing to the top, he was sitting on the platform looking at us. Mom said “here Sean, you use the rope like this (holding it with both her hands), and pull yourself up like this”. She placed a foot on one of the rocks and pulled up a bit. Sean looks at us from his perch on the platform and says “No Grandma, you too heavy.” I haven’t laughed that hard in quite awhile!
