SORRY!!
One more shot from Mondays shoot with the boys.
How could I leave this one out? Like I said yesterday Patrick said he could cock it himself.
I thought to myself [ok little man lets just see]
Got red faced,grunted,and straining he would get so close to it cocking but not get it quite there.

You can guess the rest of the story,it took him a long time between shots
but by golly he DID it himself.I keep getting reminded not to limit them.
Boy its really rewarding and fun at this age to try to help them mature and grow.
The best way I have found is to let them try anything/everything
encourage and challenge them
(and keep mom from finding out the dangerous stuff we do till it's done)
