New skill

I have decided that starting today, I am going to make a real effort to teach Patrick how to come down the stairs backwards.

We've tried before, and he is quite resistant to the idea, but today and forward I'm ONLY going to let him come down backwards -- that means no more 'rides' from mommy. I am hoping this will help my back and besides, its a great skill for him to have in case he is accidentally exposed to a staircase without supervision.

Wish us luck!!! Updates as they are available.
