Stairs Look Exciting

Tyler started looking at the stairs with interest a few days before he actually attempted them. He would look up at them and he would stand at the first stair. After he got a feel for it, he attempted to climb the first few stairs. I guess he realized it was not that difficult because he went full force after he mastered the first three which lead to a small landing and then it is straight uphill from there. Steve and I were always behind him on his attempts. We mostly let him attempt it just to see how far he would go. One day before Steve got home, Tyler was watching Monty go up and down the stairs, so I guess at that point he decided if Monty could do it, then he could do it. I stayed right behind him the whole time as he made his way all the way up to the top. It was cute when he would look back. I don't know if it was more of a "look at me" or making sure we were there. I could not believe it. I showed Steve when he got home and we videotaped it and took pictures just to mark a "first" moment. After that, we were very careful not to let him do it anymore, even for fun because we did not want him thinking it was ok. For a little while, I would constantly have to pull him off the stairs. I think when he realized we were not going to let him go up again, he got bored with it and I have not had an issue since then.
