Quick, move the piano bench back over!!  As you may be able to tell, it’s virtually impossible to put a gate at the bottom of our stairs.  We’d have to get the kind that screws into the wall and we’re not willing to ruin our nice wood for that.  So far, the piano bench has deterred him, just as it did for Ellie.  Unlike Ellie, he has already tried to push his head between the top of the first step and the bench and then cried when he couldn’t fit.

We do have an adventurous boy on our hands! 🙂
