What goes up must come down

Lydia is climbing the stairs now. She thinks she is a big girl and even waves when she has climbed a stair. Well, this makes me worry a bit. How do you teach a baby that she could fall down the stairs? I am hearing others say, "teach her to climb back down on her fanny." That is probably what I will do. I have also heard of teaching to climb down the stairs on her tummy and feet first. Of course, I am right there when she is climbing the stairs but it makes me think of how it will be when she is running around the house.
This leads me to think of all the gates we have to install in the house. We already have two of the cheapy $10  gates right now. We have to get some that are made especially for staircases which can be expensive. I wonder what will happen tomorrow?
