Look what I can do now! Xander, who has always been my climber, has decided to scale up the outside of the stairs since the baby gate is blocking the normal way. He likes to climb up and move the pictures on the wall (out of sight, to the left). I couldn't catch him doing it with the camera, but here he is starting up. Good times. And if he starts scaling up the front steps, the rail isn't short like the back ones, it goes all the way to the top. Even better times.
