That's a pretty good climb at that age. Well done. I never did fortunately but most of my friends seemed to fall out of a tree at some stage of their childhood. It seemed like a rite of passage.
My mother was a great tree climber. Turn your back and she'd be at the top of some huge tree in an instant. I was quite good too, but not on her level.
I used to climb trees when I was a child. I had a branch that I would often sit on until Mary Ellen Sexton broke it. I think it is time for me to forgive her.
Happy Birthday Mischa. I always loved tree climbing. Haven't done it for a few years now. Kowhai, Doug's great-granddaughter is 5 today and will start school.

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Happy Birthday Mischa! A first tree climb is an impressive milestone for such a tender age!

DeleteHappy birthday Mischa - a good name for some mischief!
ReplyDeleteWe may call him that from now on!
DeleteHappy Birthday to the sweet little fellow! And so cute! He reminds me of our niece's baby boy, with the blond curls and big blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteWe all think our grandsons/daughters are the cutest ever, but in his case I'm sure of it!!!
DeleteClimbing one’s first tree is a milestone! There’ll be many more trees to climb.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought; he's just been up there again, after having eaten a lot of cake.
DeleteHappy, happy birthday Mischa ....... lovely for you all to be together. I had to talk to mine via FaceTime today ! Enjoy the cake. XXXX
ReplyDeleteWe've just had Birthday Tea. Lovely.
DeleteBeautiful scene, beautiful boy. Happy Birthday Mischa.
ReplyDeleteI used to climb trees when I was a child. I had a branch that I would often sit on until Mary Ellen Sexton broke it. I think it is time for me to forgive her.
I wouldn't forgive her!
DeleteHappy birthday Little Tree Climber!
ReplyDeleteHe's having a wonderful time.
DeleteHe looks so proud.
ReplyDeleteHe had the right to be. Of course, he had to go up there again later. I suspect this may now become a daily event.
DeleteJUST HEARD THE FIRST CUCKOO.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mischa. I always loved tree climbing. Haven't done it for a few years now. Kowhai, Doug's great-granddaughter is 5 today and will start school.
