<\/p>\nOn Sunday morning, we brought the babies downstairs to feed them their breakfast (oatmeal and fruit). <\/p>\n
Eric went back upstairs to shower. I fed the babies and put them in their “baby pasture” in the living room while I ate my breakfast. <\/p>\n
About 10 minutes later, I heard Erin making distressed noises (not crying, but not happy). After a couple of minutes of that, I went to investigate.<\/p>\n
It turns out that the gate at the bottom of the stairs had been left open. I thought it was closed. <\/p>\n
My babies can climb stairs.<\/p>\n
I found Erin about three steps up, fussing, but not going any further. Alex was nowhere to be seen. I guess she was upset that he had left her on the stairs.<\/p>\n
In a panic, I called Alex’s name. Eric answered from upstairs, “He’s here in the bedroom with me.” I breathed a huge sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Sure enough, Alex had climbed the entire staircase by himself, crawled into our bedroom, and was waiting for Eric when he came out of the bathroom. Yikes! <\/p>\n
Apparently, I have a climber on my hands. <\/p>\n
Apparently, he was not listening during all the (multiple) times I’d told him that climbing stairs was only permissible with Mommy or Daddy behind him. ![](\"http:\/\/s.xanga.com\/images\/winky.gif\")
