Stairs, stairs, and more stairs...

Gavin has been climbing the stairs for a while now, but didn't know how to get down. Any time the gate is not up, the boys head straight for the stairs and have so much fun learning how to climb them. So, for the past week we've been working on teaching Gavin how to go down the stairs backwards and teaching Ethan how to go up and down the stairs. Ethan would just sit at the bottom and laugh at Gavin as he'd climb them. Now he too can climb them. I've spent a couple hours now sitting on the stairs helping the boys learn how to master them. Ethan was so proud of himself the first time he climbed to the top that he clapped for himself - it was very cute!

Ethan not sure how to turn around and go down backwards.



There they go!

I love it! Evelyn too loves to climb the stairs but she has not learned to go down them yet. I just need to take the time and teach her.

I wish Carson learned the stairs routine! We are still using gates!

One thing I love about our blogs is I feel like you're not that far away. I LOVE when you post a comment on mine...it's like a little surprise present! Anyway, I love all the new pics and I am SO jealous of your trips to NY. LUCKY! (said like Napolean Dynamite) Your boys are so dang cute I enjoy watching them grow. All 3 of them. Happy New Year!
