Ross has struggled in school and in reading. He is a very passionate kid and that can be a really good thing or a really bad thing. I think it was back in January we decided to put him in rock climbing not knowing the effect it would have on him.
We found out Ross is gifted in climbing which shouldn't have been surprising since he can scale the door frames and fireplace. He quickly became a teacher's pet BIG TIME. Last Friday Babe went to pick him up and the teacher said "I can't say enough good about Ross." He is climbing at such a level, etc. She loves his politeness. She was amazed when early on she took him off the self-bilay and he did EXCELLENT. She said a lot of kids can't climb off the self-bilay because of the force that helps them up. Ross though climbed. She says he stops to think about his next move. The two of them get a long extremely well and Ross has continued to improve. Little did we know a long with excelling with rock climbing would come excelling in academics! His reading shot off and he is doing EXCELLENT now. He just needed to find his talent and his thing and leave the shadow of his older brother and sister. Then as I have blogged about already he started wresting and LOVES that and again is talented in it. Ross has prayed and thanked God he gets to climb. The other day he went through many of the days of the week and said he wished he could climb all those days. We have found Ross and it has been good to the heart to see.
The below pictures were taken when he was just starting out and a newbie at he whole thing.
Ahhh, the fun of coming down!
