He kept raising his feet blocks high so he had to get onto a garbage can to get onto his stilts. I fall forward just standing still so I won't be doing the stilts things even though Barney and Button would be there if I fell.You had sweatshirt weather which is great. I am learning not to be tied down to a coat anymore. L.
