Ira on the slide

Ira is determind more than anything to give everything and anything a try!! He had been watching some of the other children going up and down the slide and going down on their tummies head first!! Ira would normally go down on his tummy but feet first. He was determind to give it a go though. He was trying to climb up the slide (also like the other children were doing) I asked Ira if he wanted to go down the slide "Yip" was his response. He then climbed off the ladder and made his way to the box. "Up" he would say, I then would lift Ira up onto the top of the box and Ira makes his way to the slide. He then reached out his hands to the slide and then got on his tummy and was ready to go. Unsure of how fast he would go down now head first I stood right beside the slide and sure enough he zooooommmmeeeddd down. I quickly stopped him at the bottom or else he would have kept sliding!!! he giggled and quickly said "Aden" (again) and walked to the blue box. We repeated this over and over Ira soon caught on that he could slow himself a bit with his hands and his feet and eventually I was able to step back but still be on alert at the bottom to stop him sliding off. It was really hard to get some photos but here are just two that turned out the best!!!
