I was truly hoping to hear from some folks I haven’t asked before. It’s so hard to know what’s OK and what’s wanton neglect!

Sam has always been cautious and declined to navigate the stairs unless we were there by his side….until last week, when without parental supervision, he scooted down and then crawled back up the stairs. (I only realized it because a stuffed animal that had been upstairs with us only moments ago was now mysteriously in the foyer.) It seems dumb to put gates up now. I think we’re just going to let the boy take his chances. I might change my mind on that the first time he cartwheels down the stairs, though.
