[Schmidtey]

Anna, half his height, bounds up and down them without any trepidation at all. I'm like the others, I think they will overcome this fear with time. Although, it may not be a good thing for us if he does. I don't think I want the escape artist in the basement.

That's too funny! Schmidtey has such long legs that I didn't think he would be worried about stairs at all!
