Yay AND Nay

This weekend Abigail learned how to climb the stairs!! ☺ I thought she would probably be able to do it, so I showed her legs how, and then she mimicked it herself. She quickly became proficient at it.

With this new-found ability I have to be more diligent about putting up a gate at the bottom of the stairs that go to the 2ND floor. Thankfully the basement steps have a door at the top of them so I don't have to worry about those.

Unfortunately though I forgot about the gate tonight, and I was in the kitchen when we all heard a LOUD thud immediately preceded by crying. Poor Abby fell down the stairs! I had set a small item on the steps about 6 steps up, and she saw it and wanted it. So up the steps she went to get it...and back down she came. Now she has a sizable lump on her forehead. But still--thumbs up to her for learning! ☺
