We have a set next to our bed. Charlie would jump off of the bed in the middle of the night (to chase the cat, I think) and then have to wake me up to get back in bed. That got old, so I bought a set of stairs. He goes right up them, but prefers to jump off - and nothing I could do could convince him to go down the stairs to got off of the bed. I'll have to try again.
The first night we had Henry, I went to show him how to use the stairs - and made Charlie go up them a few time so he'd get the idea. After a few tries he looked at my like I was crazy and proceeded to jump on the bed all by himself. I was stunned b/c I didn't think he'd be able to do it. I guess since his legs are longer he's got more spring.
