He did it!

Arram tends to be timid in unfamiliar situations.  He has a hard time trying new things because he gets intimidated.  He needs extra time to warm up.  At the park, this means that he likes to sit on the seesaw and be passively bounced.  He'll acquiesce to sit on a swing but refuse even the gentlest of pushes-- I'm happy just dangling, thankyouverymuch. 

But he turned over a new leaf this weekend!  I swung him and he liked it.  He asked to go on the merry-go-round and begged to be spun faster.  He didn't even ask for Mama's help to clamber around on the giant frog.  And for the most impressive bit, just watch this.  I was so proud of him I could have popped.

that is truly an amazing step in confidence! Did he want to do it again? He seems to advance very slowly, then suddenly, he makes a giant leap forward!
