It's no secret that Alan loves pandas. The other morning, Alan was particularly attached to one of his newest pandas, Fanny. He tried to pull her through the slats of the crib (rather difficult since he was pulling the front legs through one gap and the back legs through another). Mommy lifted Fanny out of the crib for him and he carried her to the top of the stairs.
There he met a new challenge. He wanted to go down stairs to play with his big brother, but didn't want to let go of Fanny either. Alan normally goes down the stairs backwards on his hands and knees. Necessity being the mother of invention, he went down on his bum, using one hand to lower himself step by step while the other hand held on to Fanny. It was slow going, but eventually they made it down the landing!
