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!?!
