Like I mentioned, we have been working with Little Dude on the stair ascending and descending, but after that little scare, we stepped it up a bit.
I’m happy to say, Little Dude has successfully gone up and down the upstairs of our house quite a few times within the last few days. We still won’t be taking the gate down anytime soon, but we feel a little more comfortable about him being around stairs.
We also won’t be letting him do the basement steps yet, as they are wooden, unfinished, and that concrete at the bottom would make for a disastrous landing.
We’re getting there though!
In other news, Little Dude appears to have come up with a name for my mom - one of the grandmas. She is “Ama,” and adores it! My guess is that all the grandmas (he has three - the Hubby’s mom, my mom & my mom’s mom) will be christened “Ama,” for now.
Have a great weekend everyone! We have a lot to do around here, so hopefully the weather stays nice, like last night, when we were able to take Little Dude for a walk around the block at about 8/8:30 pm. It was a nice way for him to relax before bed, and a nice way for us to enjoy some fresh air.

When Josh was around 17-18 months he couldn’t say Grandma, so he started calling Joe’s mom “Honey” instead, and she was THRILLED…. I think she was a bit disappointed when he learned how to say Grandma. *lol*

Ben is 26 months old, and he won’t say “Nana,” which is what all the other kids call my mom. He says “nana” for banana, but he only calls her Mama. He also won’t say “Anna,” which is terribly similar, but will only say Baby. Good luck with the stairs!

Those dang stairs. It’s always nice once they learn to master them. Best of luck. Love your blog!
