Arthur has shown great strength and stamina over the last few weeks at running to Kindy. Not all the way admittedly but we've seen him cover enough ground to be fairly confident that if the circumstances were right he could make it up the mountain! We prepped him explaining what the adventure, just like Dora, would entail and he was ready and excited before we left. Low slung grey cloud covered the peaks as we set off and black clouds ahead threatened. Wearing wet weather gear we were prepared for the worst but soon the clouds melted away and the sun shone.
Arthur made it to the lookout without too much grumbling, chocolate fingers were successfully offered as bribes on the way up and he ran down enthusiastically.
Now, a few hours later he is so tired he can barely speak and is slumped in front if the TV. Let us hope he sleeps through the night instead of visiting me at 3am stolen ice pop in hand like he did last night!
