The Physics Of The Slope, Demonstrated By Sophie

Sophie and I went to a new park yesterday that had a fairly toddler-friendly jungle gym.  The ramp was short but steep and wet, so it provided a new challenge to test Sophie's bipedal skills.  The first time coming down, she wiped out with one hand still on the railing, so she swung right off the ramp, into the sand, headfirst.  No crying, just some sand stuck to the forehead, and she worked on going up and down seven or eight more times until she felt more confident!  That's my Sophie!

Going up...  Easy-peasy.

Now coming down...

Tah Dah!
