Stairs

When Lolo was here taking care of Stanley for a week while Halima was on vacation in Germany she spent hours and hours teaching Stanley to go down the stairs at our house feet first.  She would sit at the bottom of the stairs while he tried to crawl down them and every time he would go head first she would tell him "no, no, no..." and block him from going down at all.  She would only let him proceed if he went feet first, and then give him long rounds of applause for his accomplishments.

Well, all that hard work has certainly paid off.  Stanley will (almost always) crawl up to some stairs, pause to look at them, then spin himself around and go down feet first all on his own.  We still have to watch him and remind him every now and then, but he is pretty good these days.  Take a look for yourself.
