Nathan and I spent some time outside yesterday enjoying the finally awesome weather.  He was getting frustrated not being able to swing on the swing set properly.  It was sorta funny to watch him flail and kick away all the while not going anywhere.  So, instead of me pushing him, I spent about 2 minutes showing him what to do and he caught on quick.
