Butch is my oldest. He is 8 1/2. He is interested in the world. The older he gets the more cautious he becomes. I did manage to talk him into trying the rock wall though. He got up about 8 feet and decided it was hard so he jumped off. He wouldn't try again. I'll get him back up, but it's going to take more time. 

His favorite activites are playing with horses and drawing/coloring. This week he's been tracing pictures of dinosaurs from one of his coloring books and then coloring them. This morning he had four pictures on tracing paper laid out to look at. He likes to keep his pictures nearby. I don't think there's enough wall space that the little ones can't reach for all of his pictures.  

If I was really good I'd have batteries that worked and take pictures of his pictures. That will take time. Every time we move I have to find new stores and sources.

Maybe I'll just go buy laminate paper and "save" his pictures for him.
