All locked up

My son has been crawling up a storm for a few months now and while we love his adventurous side, it means that we've really started to crack down on our babyproofing..especially after a certain grandfather taught him how to climb the stairs...awesome, thanks dad:)

So, we gave in and purchased a permanent top of the stairs gate...Rob finds it completely hilarious, whereas Sabre feels trapped on one side and left out on the other...as evidence by the sulking here's doing here:


Our little man also discovered that his rollie balls fit underneath the gate, so now his favorite activity is sitting a the top of the stairs, and slowly rolling the ball until it falls under the gate and down the stairs...at which point, he stretches out trying to grasp it...we love his industrious nature and have placed a basket at the bottom of the stairs for him to aim at...what can I say, Im a coach.
