I did it!

Everyday Eli asks, "Can you help me go across the monkey bars?" He usually Eli steps off the ledge, as he is holding the first rung, then he asks for support all the way to the other side. Today I suggested that Eli try to get to the second rung all by himself. On his first attempt he made it to the third rung and then jumped down. He was so pleased with himself as he grinned from ear to ear! Eli climbed right back up to do it again! This time he made it to the fourth rung and the next time he made it all the way across!

Persistence... that's what it takes! Way to go Eli!
