Spider girl

Rachel taught herself a new trick.

She is far and away the best climber in the family, and is starting to get strong. She definitely out does her 18mo older brother in strength to weight ratio I think. He can not do the above trick which vexes him.

She is a total girly girl, with about zero competitiveness until I first took her to the rock wall at the Y. She dug it way more than the other kids. She would just attack a problem over and over. She like puzzles, and is a tenacious/compulsive kid and I think climbing must appeal to that personality type (not that I would know).

I call her my little tarantula.
