Little Mountaineer

When I am working in the kitchen, I put Ian by the front door and he crawls back to the kitchen to splash in Roxxy's water dishes. I stop him and put him back by the door and the proces repeats until I am done. Yesterday, I put him by the front door and did not hear him clomping down the hall . I couldn't see him, but it was quiet and I knew he couldn't possibly be playing with his toys in the livingroom. I ran to find him and he was on the stairs! His feet were on stair #5 and his hands on stairs #6. Yikes! Time to block off those stairs. We have outlet covers on the outlets and try to keep things out of reach but we hadn't put gates up in this new place, yet.
