CLIMB.

One of my favourite things I've learned from our daughter is the importance of ascension; of looking up, up, up and if there's any possible way to get higher than you currently are - geographically speaking - then to go after it. To climb for the clouds, literally. When I say I've learned this from her, what I mean is that I WATCH her do these things and marvel. Sometimes I throw frisbee or footballs at her up high to test her reflexes. That's fun too, and gives her the opportunity to learn how to semi-safely fall from very tall places. Also, if you haven't listened to @thevaccines you really oughta. Such good post-Strokes angular Brit dancey, punky pop. ____ #climbing #mdl08
