Climbing Mt. Everest

NOT REALLY!! Like i'd really climb Mt. Everest? I'm too busy....sewing. :0)

Sarah is climbing up the stairs. This isn't a great feat by our standards but to a 1 year old...this is Mt. Everest. She'd been eyeing the stairs for a long while. I finally said to her, "Go ahead, lets go upstairs". She started climbing like she'd been watching me and just waiting for the go-ahead.

She started climbing, laughing and then mid-way up the stairs she turned around and looked down. I realized that she must be looking to see how high she was. How high does that seem to a 1 y/o? She squealed in delight as she realized that she was actually doing it. She continued to climb all the way to the top. She stood up and looked down the stairs and smiled a huge smile from ear-to-ear. She was very proud of herself. She had just conquered her Mt. Everest.

Later when Daddy got home, I said..."Oh show Daddy how you can climb the stairs"...without missing a beat, she turned and marched towards the stairs to show daddy. Again she climbed her mountain and was very proud of herself, even more so because daddy was watching. Daddy was so proud of her and told her so. Then he went out and bought a gate for the stairs. :0)
