Why??

Here we are at the park killing time. Brenden thought it was fun to just walk off the edge of the sidewalk. He didn't want any help, you can see Dad in the background. He was willing to help, as was I. I did try to help him on several occasions, but he always said, "No!". So, instead of bothering him further, I sat down and took pictures of him falling. Now, for whatever reason Brenden walked off that edge about 30 times. Each time he ended up in a position similar to the one in the picture. He would then get up with a huge smile on his face and do it again. Garhett was sitting next to him just watching. He leaned over to play in the sand, but never did he feel like he should launch himself off the edge! Brenden is just that person who likes to try things first hand. I presume he will be that type of person that will never just take your word for it! After he is done doing what he was warned not to, he will say, "yeah, you were right." I am hoping that this behavior does not result in multiple trips to the E.R. Brenden being bold and daring can potentially be a good thing. Bold and daring can also be a dangerous combo. Right now with him not being able to have great judgment, he ends up doing some crazy things!
