Last weekend while visiting the “grandparents,” Millie decided to attempt the stairs. You see, Millie has done the stairs at our house before once or twice. But she has also slid all the way back down them three or four times. Hardwood stairs are slippery and scary, so it’s no wonder she is nervous on stairs.
So when she had a shot at carpeted stairs, Millie was brave. She darted right up the stairs, but when she got halfway, she stopped and completely froze. She will get it eventually!
Oscar used to be so scared of stairs when he was a baby. He slid down the stairs a few times too - it was scary to see! Now he just barrels up and down them, and we think back at how we thought he'd never be able to use the stairs and laugh at ourselves. I'm sure Millie will be great at navigating those stairs in no time!
ReplyDeleteWow, how did Oscar get past it?! I have no idea how to encourage her! I try walking up right behind her as a safety net, but she still freezes. I hope you're right, she's reaching that age where she needs to learn to use the stairs finally!
ReplyDeleteJF and Dewi still aren't great at stairs (it's hard having no legs and long backs). I'd be fine if they never went up them since when they do, it's usually to do something naughty.
