Photo hunt - steps

April 20th, 2007

Stairs toddler climbing photo hunt

 At Christmas time, we went up north to visit relatives. Lil’ Duck wasn’t used to stairs inside the house & definitely not carpeted stairs that were open to his access at all times. Since he wouldn’t stay away from them and was good at going up and down stairs outside already, we worked with him until he learned to hold the handrail and walk down properly. This was after several failed attempts to get him to slide down on his tummy (feet-first) and to bump down on his bottom. We still kept a close watch on him (Daddy Creature is at the bottom, just in case) but he never fell and went up and down those stairs all day, every day for the week that we were there.

    It is always interesting (and sometimes scary) watching kids learn new things. He appears to have mastered this well. Happy weekend.

    Something told me you would have a picture like this one. It’s really good. I remember teaching our girls the same thing.

    Happy weekend! If you have time, please check out my pic on My Photo Blog.

    What a wonderful photo! And a necessary skill! OH! the stairs in a Dutch house… it’s enough to make you shiver every time you watch a kid heading up or down them.

    It’s always scary to visit a house with stairs when your toddler isn’t used to them. You did a great job teaching him a new skill!

    I’ll bet he felt like a big boy all week going up and down those stairs just like a pro!

    Those are pretty steep stairs for a little one. Looks like he can handle them though.

    It would freak me out if my child would do that!

    Why do toddlers love going up and down the stairs? Lol. But it feels good when we see that confidence in their faces that they can do it. :)

    What a sweet pic. My toddler is still learning to navigate stairs. Scares me silly!

    Mom has taught him well. Go slow. Hold on to the railing. What a cute young man there!

    Funny how that is a fun thing to do when they are little!

    Once we learn something, we have to perfect it!
    So cute :)

    It’s easy to forget that we need to be taught how to do the stairs. You took the photo from an interesting perspective!

    Steps and little ones can be pretty stressful at times.

    Great choice for The Hunt. The only thing missing is Duckie.

    What is it about kids and stairs. They never seem to tire of going up and down.

    Pardon my late visit. Thanks for sharing this precious moment. I can relate and know how young children seem to love the idea of going up and down the stairs.
