Stair Climber

Unlike Ollie, Tori learned to climb the stairs by holding onto the rails fairly quickly. The gate at the foot of the stairs, therefore, has come down. She has mastered the technique, and when she is feeling lazy, she will wait for you to take her up. As for going down the stairs, we're still working on that one. Tori seems to think that she can just step off the landing and float to the bottom. Until she figures out the down part, the buckets will remain at the top of the stairs. Fortunately, for us, she rarely tries to climb over them or move them.
