we only have stairgate at top for purpose of not getting up in night and falling down, but she and all the girls have done stairs since walking, my friend wont allow hers to and they always falling on them, mine have no fear and get on with it lol

Hope your friend is ok pip.

We live in a town house so have two sets of stairs on living room level! May move the gate from the level going up and put it up the top so top of both stairs are covered? She can do the stairs but I would still be worried she has no fear and will try and climb stairs with toys in hands. Also occasionally if I go down before her she counts and jumps at me suppose she won't learn until we let her be free so may see if hubby will move gate today! X

Hope your friend's baby stays put a while longer Pip

Alex does the stairs - up and down on his own. The stairs in this house are too wide for a safety gate - even the extra wide ones. We tried a playpen/room divider as a barrier but it didn't work, so we're out of ideas! Going up is a breeze for him, and going down he always holds the rail and says 'Slowly-slowly-slowly' to himself as he's going. We can't leave him alone anywhere now though. He moves the chairs around the kitchen, gets drinks out of the fridge for himself, climbs onto the worktops, gets bread out the bread bin - we've got locks on all the doors and drawers upstairs now (except my clothes drawers, which we're going to have to do soon as he's started taking all my clothes out and throwing them over the bannisters after seeing me do it with a load of washing the other week...)

I made some shortbread this morning. He 'helped' I cut them all out, turned round to get the baking tray, and the little bugger squidged every last one into a ball - argh!

:wave:

to your friend Pip

We still have stair gates up, but if we leave them open, missy closes them - doesn't go near the stairs til someone says it's ok, so I guess that's a good thing!

I am doing a little happy dance for my BnB friend. She has been TTC since before me and got her this morning on round 2 of IVF So pleased for her.

 

[KatienSam]
