Brave boy

More pics taken with my cell as that is all I had at this fun moment for Ewan. Ewan tends to be quite the "cautious" little boy, so attempting the steps by himself without any prompting was quite the shocker!! We were in the basement playing (well, I was doing laundry and Ewan was getting into all of daddy's stuff) and I turned around for just a second and the next thing I knew, he had climbed up the steps to the landing and was walking down ALL BY HIMSELF!!!! (with NO railing!!) Ewan was so proud of himself so I had to get some quick pics of his big moment!! Now, he will also use the rail (this makes mommy feel MUCH better!) and wants to go down the last 3 steps of our flight from the 2nd floor ALL BY HIMSELF!! I'm so proud of you, honey- GREAT JOB!!!!!

HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok- so Ewan just SCARED ME TO DEATH!!!!!! He just climbed 9 steps of our HARDWOOD staircase- I was "indisposed" and had to leave him for just a minute. Apparently, we need a gate at the bottom of the steps now. He has never shown ANY interest in the stairs and of course, I figured I would wait to put a gate there- BIG MISTAKE!!!! Thank the Lord for his protection!
