pretty much every thursday is spent in the basement. it is a long work day for me, usually with several meetings, and the kids usually spend the day playing in the basement and wearing their pajamas all day.
mason climbs up the stairs just fine, but he has been uninterested in climbing down the stairs. i have been wanting him to figure out how to do it safely so that i don't have to keep carrying him. i have enough trouble keeping my balance with just me, let alone with an excitedly squirmy boy (he gets very excited about going downstairs). so today madelyn and i slid down the stairs on our bottoms to show mason how to do it. i held his hand while he and i scooted down the stairs. as we got to the last ten stairs or so he figured out that he could crawl down backwards too - which is the preferred method. i took some video of the last few stairs.
and this video shows a game that madelyn and mason play together for a half-hour at a time. they both laugh the whole time too. love.

Good job, Mason. Stair training is something we Floridians don't have to deal with too much. Any game that elicts giggles is a winner!
