The stairs have been the biggest challenge around our house as of late. I want David to explore our home and not feel restricted to only certain areas but, I also have to keep him safe! He has climbed as many as 3 steps at one time, with me close behind of course. He is very good at. The problem comes when he wants to turn around. The stairs are not wide enough to safely support him as he sits on them sideways, so he teeters off. I am trying to teach him how to turn around and come down the stairs correctly (on his bottom). I think he is too young to fully understand right now, but we will keep working on it.
