The Swing

Lately, Ziga prefers to be pushed on the big-kid swing on our playset out back. He is thrilled when I push him higher, and higher...always demanding a "big push!" Tonight, I was pushing him and he said, "I need to go there, up into the tree, the clouds--my get stuck!" I'm hearing things like that a lot lately--"I want to go there" (a place he sees on TV) or "I want to get in that" (a picture of an ATV in one of his books). Here we go! A new stage of independence.....
