Sliding Down a Rainbow

Every now and again, we'll pull Ayden's little plastic slide out of the closet. Each time, it makes him very happy. And while it dominates an already overcrowded living room, we know it's good for him. Each time it's out, his use of it is quicker and smoother. It used to be that I had to help him place his feet so he could climb up onto it, then hold his hands as he slides down. Those days are long gone. Now, we have to make sure he doesn't spend too much time standing at the top and trying to climb up the wrong way.

The video below, in addition to displaying his improved sliding (and talking) skills, shows off his "jumping." Once you watch, you'll understand the need for the quotes.
