surely the dumbest post of the night but here goes, we are moving to a house and today we took the kids there to walk around, the blessing and curse of apt living was we could here everything from any room, now a little nervous about the second floor, our kdis are 4 and 3, so clearly they can do stairs, but do people really hang in the den downstairs while the kids are sleeping upstairs? how do u heard stuff? do you gate the steps for awhile?

we are moving to a house too and just took kids there yesterday to roam around too. What bites for us is we have a 15 mos old (and 2 older dcs) so I have to worry about the stairs. I'll have to gate them and then still worry about older two kids leaving the gate open. [ Reply | More

op: good point. i guess i take forgranted now, the crying or if someone is sick. also, now i can easily be in another room on computer doing work if need be, and still hear them, just suddenly nervous about the space. [ Reply | More

we used a baby monitor until my youngest, who has really strong lungs, was around 3. I still use a gate at the top of the stairs at night in case one of them wakes in the middle of the night - we wouldn't want them to accid fall down the stairs. the baby monitor is a good idea so if they wake you will have some warning before they come downstairs and catch you watching tv or eating ice cream!
