Scout can finally go down the outside stairs! Woo Hoo! He was starting to really struggle when being carried down and when putting him 3 or 4 steps from the bottom he would just jump off and not actually walk down the steps. Yesterday when I got home from work he went right down them, although it was very slow. He takes very tentative steps but will go down even in the dark at night. This is a huge milestone for him. Next weekend Michele and I are going away and Nancy is staying with the kids, Scout and the birds and now she will not have to carry him down the stairs! I knew he could do it, it was a matter of when he was ready to do it.
