When my son started crawling we lived in a tri-level house
with two sets of stairs. There were no easy ways to gate them, so we didn’t.
Like most babies, he was magnetically drawn to the steps, his curiosity and
drive to climb to the top was pretty unstoppable. We let him explore, taught
him how to slide down on his tummy, and made sure we were always behind him in
case he faltered.

We all start at the bottom, looking up at the
challenges and achievements of each step. Some of us are unsure of the climb
and lack the confidence to make it up the first stair. Our paths to
accomplishments are filled with obstacles. A broken step, or a loose railing.
Our journey isn’t easy and each success is hard-earned, one stair at a time.
