It was only when Anya started climbing almost as soon as she could crawl that I realised it: climbing is just vertical crawling. Anya has been re-enacting that Monty Python sketch about climbing the North Face of the Uxbridge Road.
This is all a roundabout way of pointing that she made it up nine steps of the staircase this morning--with a protective dad right behind her of course. But she's clearly not quite got her mountaineer spirit yet--she gave up within sight of the top for the much more interesting activity of chewing a leaf.
Good heavens, she got right to the top with me yesterday - no problem. Needed a hand over the metal bar on the stair gate but then she was off checking out the bedrooms and making sure her bathroom was still there. And this blog has now been superseded as she took her first steps in the garden today with the help of her baby walker (the one with the terrible music).
ReplyDeleteLet it not be forgotten that it was her Grandpa who first taught her to climb the first two steps earlier this week!! The rest, as we all know, are easy.
