Scare #1

I know as kids are growing up there are times when they scare their parents and almost give them a heart attack. Last night was our first big scare. As I have said in a prior post Cooper has become obsessed with the stairs. Tonight after we had dinner we just relaxed and attempted to watch a TV show. We closed all doors, put up the gates and put two chairs in front of the steps so Cooper could roam where he wanted to. After about 5 minutes Rob decided to go check on Cooper. Next thing I know Rob is telling me to come over. So I head towards the dining room and I don't see them, head to the stairs and I don't see them. I finally ask where are they and Rob says come up stairs. Cooper had crawled through the chairs and climbed all the way up the stairs. Both Rob and I just stood there shocked and completely scared out of our minds. Then we wanted to know how he did it so we put him on the floor and watched him this time.

He crawled through the chairs. Silly me thought the chairs just being there would be enough of a deterrent. Needless to say we won't be putting chairs in front of the stairs again. Off to Target again for another gate.
