Race to the Gate


Great-grandma's bedroom is downstairs, so every morning she has to climb the staircase and open the gate to join us. It's a little tricky to open the baby gate while holding on to a cane and gripping the rail, so she asks for help. When she calls out "Can someone open the gate?" there is a stampede for the gate. One of the older children will come to open the gate and one or both of the younger children will rush over, too. We have Lincoln trained to not go down the stairs while great-grandma is coming up, but Evan doesn't listen to us or great-grandma. Evan LOVES escaping the main floor and he takes any opening he sees to do so. Great-grandma provides him a big opening.
