My little Dashy is going to be smart! He has been stuck for months at the top of the stairs when I am downstairs. But today, he decided to change all of that. We watched as he climbed the bottom stair, then would turn around and climb down. He did it about 6 times. Then he went up the two bottom stairs. When he got to the top, he turned around and climbed back down again. After doing that for a while, he went up more. Micah ran to get the video camera, because it was the cutest and smartest thing I have ever seen. But then B intervened to show him that crawling down each stair very uneasily — and face first — was not the best technique. So she and I worked with him a few minutes on how to get down the stairs safely and easily. We’ll pick up tomorrow where we left off.
See — isn’t he smart!?!
