Progress: Noun and Verb

Today was our 17th Annual Progressive Dinner Party. As we planned this year's, emails began with, "shall we progress?" We did, and it all took shape and took place (though this morning 5 in one family all developed coughs and decided to skip it, even though it was all outside, see Extra).
3 year-old Mila couldn't reach the first rung of the rope ladder, but with her dad's help, she progressed to the small platform.
