Update on the stairs

May 13, 2008 · 4 Comments

Just a quick note regarding my last post…

We actually have been working with Little Dude on stairs - the upper ones in our house, since they are carpeted. The basement stairs are all wooden, with concrete at the bottom (unfinished basement). He has no problem going up the stairs, but he still needs a hand to hold as we work on going down the stairs - he wants to walk down, not scoot on his butt.

Thanks everyone! It was pretty scary to see him leaning over the stairs that way…

I know we don’t want our babies to grow up too quickly, but in cases like these, I wish they could hit fast forward and learn these vital skills NOW.
