We had a gate on the kitchen, as we don't have a door, it was more to keep dog out than Katie, but once Katie figured out how to open it and the dog kept knocking it over jumping it we took it down.

We also had one on the bottom of the stairs when she first got mobile but that also came down once Katie could open it.

I've got a gate to the kitchen because DH is overprotective... When he's not around I let her wander in and out while I'm there (and somethimes when I'm not :shh: ) but he has a hernia everytime she's anywhere near...

SM, I thought you lived in a flat?

LOL - that was why I was keeping my trap shut. I am the oddball here! (SM I didn't think you had stairs?)

We do have a door on the living room but I have always just let him go up and down stairs and the novelty wore off after a while now he just uses them when he wants to go upstairs or downstairs for something. And he knows not to go up or down without me.

Horses for courses and all that.

All you fancy-livin' types with stairs!

What do people think, can you see this picture working printed on canvas, maybe 20"x16" or so? On computer you have to zoom in and out to get the effect so I think it's not that great but in the real world it might work better.

Small amount of stair envy there Bruno?

Fantastic photo though, how'dya do that?!

My_Fathers_Daughter

How does it print on paper Bruno?

Is it an effect made for canvas? I was thinking the other day that the canvas might distort the image because of it's complexity.
It may be better printed as a large photo (super large!) and framed?

Am I making sense?

It is gorgeous though

thats what i think too MFD, after a few goes of pulling DVDs of the shelf he's not bothered now, but i'm sure if i had kept putting them back he'd still be doing it now. i dont make a big fuss over him 'not ' doing something in the hope the novelty would wear off.

if i do get a stairgate, i'll get the moveable one and then when he goes to the PIL then they can use it for the day.

oh...forgot to say. MIL has pulled a muscle in her leg and has a plaster on it. (not broken so i dont understand the plaster bit) and she's on crutches

just as well she wasnt meant to have Kian tomorrow.
