The other day, I was doing laundry so I removed the baby gate from the top of the stairs that lead to our den. Savannah was taking a nap at the time, so I knew it would be okay. When she got up we went to the store, then when we got back we ate dinner… and I completely forgot about the gate. After dinner I had to clean up so I just put her in the living room and…
