Until recently the stairs from the basement/play area were a barrier. We could leave Alex down there for short spurts to play by herself, which she does very well. This is no longer the case. I think we need to start using the gates that we have!
You forgot a picture. Where is the picture of Alex's face when she realize she climbed the whole staircase? And not that you want/need parenting tips but this one worked for us. Every time Alex climbs up the stairs make her crawl back down (by pulling her legs down each step as she faces the stairs) We did this with Megan and in no time she knew how to get down the stairs safe. We have never had a gate at the top of the stairs because Megan knew how to get down.
Michele, Wes, Alexandra... we are not bloggers per se. We started this blog when Michele was diagnosed with breast cancer and Alex was born within a couple days of each other. What started as a way to keep people informed without having to talk about it all the time has become both cathartic and fun. It is at times about cancer. It is at times about how damned cute Alex is. It is at times about charts, friends, woodchucks, family, work, toys, and vacations. This is life... as we know it.
