One day while I was nursing Abby I realized that I had left the gate off the stairs when I heard Parker climbing them. He doesn't have the best safety awareness so we don't usually let him climb them by himself. I heard him up stairs getting into something then I quickly heard the loudest crashing combined with screaming I have ever heard. I put Abby down and ran to the stairs when I got there I found that Parker had tried to make a sled out of the baby bath and go down the stairs with it. I was horrified and Parker was screaming hysterically. When I put the tub away and brought him down stairs he was still crying from the experience but he started to hit me because he was mad that I put the "sled" away after he had worked so hard to get it down stairs. I had to put him in time out while he was still screaming, the little stinker. You can't really see the bruise in the photo but it was there for a week. I never take the gate down now.
