Sliding at Home

The other day, despite the fact that Orin has a

rather horrifying number of toys,

we decided that he needed one more: his own slide.
After discovering his passion for slides in Andover
he has wanted to do nothing else.
Historically, however, he has always needed help with sliding.
The slide that we got him was small enough for him to learn
to climb up and side down on his own,
although it always helps to have a hand the first few times.
Cole and Dakota were glad to assist.

First they showed Orin proper sliding technique:

After several rounds of on-looking, it was Orin's turn.
The boys helped him up the ladder,they assisted in orienting him properly for the decent,

and even spotted at the bottom the first few times, just in case.
But worries were unnecessary,
this kid was born to slide.
(Despite how it might look, Orin does not fall on his head

right after this shot was taken.)
