UNBELIEVABLE!

I couldn't wait to share this one. Last night I was on the computer and Steve calls me urgently "Ainsley climbed up the stairs!" I jump out of my chair and peak around the corner. Sure enough she's on the 4th stair.
 WOW!

She's pretty impressed with herself.

But then what to do?....
It took every bit of my self-control not to rescue her from that spot. Worst-case-scenarios flashed through my mind. But instead we cheered her on. I figure if she was able to get up 4 by herself then she just might be able to get up the last 7.

 With a lot of effort and determination she takes them one at a time.

 Don't look DOWN!
 For a moment I thought she wouldn't be able to continue.

But then she does it! The final stair!

 Big congratulations were in order for such an awesome achievement!

She points to the stairs as if to say "Look what I did!"

The cheers and applause were deafening! YOU GO GIRL! Show us what you've got! This night we taught the meaning of the word PROUD!
