What goes up...

Franny loves to play on the stairs. While going up is rather straightforward, going down can be more of a challenge. She would prefer to walk down, but both stubborn independence and her inability to reach the handrail prevent her from this approach. Over the last couple of months, she took to skidding down on her stomach--a method that also enabled her to move fast, which, of course, is always a bonus for Franny. Her latest strategy, though, is to scoot down on her rump, one step at a time. Although this is much more time consuming--almost excruciatingly so--she seems to favor it over the tummy slide. We'll see what she'll come up with next--I just hope it's not the head-first slide!
