Stair Gate

We bought a gate for the top of our staircase a year ago when we moved into this house.  However, at the same time Laurel figured out how to walk up and down stairs by herself, so we didn't put it up.  Plus, at that time she really didn't wander around that much by herself and get into things (because she is a girl).  Fast forward a year, and now Laurel takes any opportunity she can to go downstairs and get into trouble, especially when Scott is working in his office down there.  Plus, Nicolas is now rolling all over the floor and getting into everything (because he is a boy).  So we decided it was a good time to put up the gate.
In addition to the gate, we also bought a device that allows you to connect a gate to a railing, without having to screw anything into the actual railing.


Dad? Daddy?  Are you down there?

This is what Nicolas did while we were working.  He sits in this and pushes himself in circles.

We put up the gate on the day of the big Iowa vs Iowa State football game.  Unfortunately, our team gear did not help the Hawkeyes come away with the win.
