More proof of my son's deviousness

So when children are at this age, where they pretty much can stand and walk on their own but they don't try to, you can play the old confidence game.

The one you play on corporate retreats to build team spirit and all that. You set the child in the standing position to see how long they can stand. Eventually when their balance gives out, they fall. But you catching them provides the reassurance and confidence that they can try again.

Unless you're Matthew

Matthew likes the sensation of falling. Matthew likes being caught. So after it generally works the first time, he'll no longer allow himself to be set in the upright position. He wants to move straight to falling and being caught.

That's the fun part.
