This past weekend, Harlow decided she was ready to walk down steps face first without holding my hand. It's important to note— she has never tried once to walk down steps while holding my hand either. She just jumped straight from shimmying down on her belly to "Let's do this thing!"
I think because she walked so early and way before we were expecting it, she never had the experience of letting us help her out by holding her up a little. So holding hands is a totally foreign concept to her.
It's actually a little sad because every time I try to hold her hand while walking down the sidewalk, she pulls away and looks at me with confusion. "What are you doing mom? What is with this hand holding charade?"
Here's a video of her last weekend. She was determined to make it down the steps just like the grown-ups do it. She only gave me a heart attack a handful of times. Harlow, of course, was fearless and even with a stumble, remained unruffled.

My kid is almost two and a half and she can’t walk down stairs that gracefully. I don’t think you have anything to worry about!
My 2.5 yr old twins gave up on going down face first, and think it is great fun to actually throw themselves down feet first on their bellies! They come down SO fast, I’m sure they are going to start a fire!
That face, right around the 4-5 second mark she makes can’t be beat. Hahaha She looks as if she’s telling you to stop stressing, she’s got this. The whole video was adorable, but that look and wave of her hand…that made my day. 🙂
Is it totally weird to be charmed by another person’s kids constantly?
Oh my goodness! I think I had a heart attack at about the same time the camera jerked so I know you were having one too. The ups and downs of fearless children… Oy.
By the title I thought you meant she took a header down the stairs face first. I am SO glad I was wrong. LOL!
That is the cutest thing ever. Fearless. Love it.
She conquered those steps like a boss!!! Go Harlow!!
Way to go, Harlow!!

I deserve my own financial independence and to be debt free! I deserve my own business that works for me even when I can’t come to work. I deserve a partner who loves me for me and wants to spend time with me and share a life with me. I deserve a beautiful family. I deserve everything I have been dreaming about for the last 3 years!
Thanks for the great year. It was a pleasure to ride in the cold in February, and share delish burgers in the cold in Oct. Thanks to Josh for putting together some fun rides and to Bike Peddler for making it possible.
Salaam,I love all of your recipes and they always turn out delicious! Sis, do you have a recipe for Kac-Kac? If you do, can you please post it?Thanks!
“And to propose a religious model without a state seems to go back to early pre-Mosaic Judaism and pre-Constantine Christianity.” This also brings to mind Jesus’ words about his kingdom not being an earthly one when asked by Pilate about whether he was a political king to replace Caesar.
