We’ve entered a new phase at the Monday Club. Evan has learned how to climb the stairs.

He’s been going up just one step between the family room and kitchen at his house for a few weeks now. He’d been trying to get up a second step, but kept falling back.

Today, as soon as he got up to step two, it was three, four, five, etc. all the way to the top in no time at all. I guess it’s true. The first step is always the hardest. And it always helps to have someone ready to catch you if you fall.
