Originally, I had intended to NOT teach these two, either.......I rather liked the occasional solitude of the basement......and a person could "escape" the ruckus if necessary.........
Apple is now 14 months and Lil Bit just turned 8 months (yesterday 7-2-05 !!)
I was afraid I had really waited too late for them to overcome the 'fear'...
But recently, having to carry 2 dogs....a grand-baby....a cup / bottle of water..the grand-baby's sippy cup,...the phone........and a
snack or two........UGH.....
I just decided it would be easier if someone or something..... could get down the steps without my help...
After 2-3 trips up and down thoses things just to get everybody and everything out to play I was ready for a nap.... |
