Yep, JT can go both ways on the stairs now – up and down. We started by teaching him how to lie on his belly and slide off the couch or an ottoman. Then we showed him how to reach back with his foot on the stairs. Two practices later, he was a master. He goes pretty slowly (good) and stops to check his progress (also good), and sometimes he starts going back up again (funny). Since we don’t use baby gates, it is a little settling to know if he gets away from us, at least he’s not going to immediately tumble down to the bottom. But still, parental supervision is required for all stair climbing. 🙂
