Determination

"Energy and persistence alter all things" - Benjamin Franklin

AJ and Daddy had climbed the big steps from the Children's Museum to the main floor of the Depot, so of course Sydney wanted to do it, too. Never mind that she's too short to reach the railing. Crawling one step at a time (with Mommy close behind), she reached the top. Eventually. And boy was she proud of herself. She then ran through the Great Hall, shouting and savoring the sound of her echoing voice.
