Current mood: shocked
My little munchkin..aka Mia the Explorer has accomplished another giant feat... she has conquered our stairs! Thats right, Mia climbed up our stairs today. All 16 steps and all by herself without any help from Mama (who was right behind her waiting for that tumble)
She climbed up a couple of steps before a few weeks ago but I haven't really let her on the stairs since. Today, however, as I was walking her around the living room, kitchen and family room she guided me towards the stairs. She saw the cat, Princess Mew Mew pearched on top of the mid-level part. She got all excited and that is what motivated her to climb the stairs.
She got up one step, another step, and by the third step she went pro! She zoomed up the stairs chasing the cat. Once she got to the mid-level part (our stairs are sectioned in to two parts) she played with my vase stand and cat scratch condo a bit. Then she saw the second half of stairs and with alittle encouragment from her little pumpkin toy she climbed all those too!
Once she reached the top, she found Princess Mew Mew again and bolted after her, but Mew, who sensed the impending doom, ran and hid. This didn't detour Mia the Explorer. She crawled around the tech center, found her basket of clean laundry and threw out the clothes. Then crawled to the laundry room, tried to pull down a net of dirty clothes then crawled to me for her to walk. I walked her around and she went into her room. Once she was in there she went nuts with her stuffed carebears and toys. After some fun I finally took her back downstairs and told her Daddy all about her adventure.
What a big girl! I am so proud of her!
