The First Shall be First

Recently we have had some firsts. In each case, Beckett went to school and told his teachers, and they seemed slightly jealous that he was having an experience at the age of 2 and 3/4s that they hadn't yet had. We went to the Jersey Shore (Barnegat Light) with my sister Linda and her family and had a great time going to the beach everyday, and there had our first experience parasailing.

Then we bought kayaks and took them up the Connecticut River, where we found a rope swing that splashes out over the water. Beckett wanted to go, and although we wouldn't allow him to jump from the top of the embankment 10 feet up, we did let him hang onto the rope and swing out over the water. He looked pretty proud of himself for having done it.
