Seriously, child. Already?

Like every other major development so far, this one came as a surprise.
Elise has been using the steps to pull herself up to a standing position, but then she just stands there and tries to tinker with the night light. That was her M.O. until tonight, when we looked over at her and she was kneeling on the first step and looking nowhere but up.
She got more adventurous and soon was on the third step.
Frankly, I'm not thrilled about this achievement. But I think there is an upside to this. She'll be more capable of helping when we refinish the stairs.
I can picture it now: "Hey, Elise, please go up and remove that 7th tread."

I see a lot of Anni in Elise but I also see a lot of Donna in Elise. So, she's climbing stairs....hmmm, you're free time is over. She's completely mobile now.
