While climbing up steps is fairly easy to learn, climbing down is a different story, especially if the step is fairly high, like from bed to floor. I had showed him a few times by nudging his behind to the edge first and then helping him land on his feet but didn't know when he would actually try it. Today, he wanted to get down and made a move that showed that he was thinking about how to go down and apparently remembered the previous lessons and so proceeded to move his body to parallel with the edge of the bed, then tentatively lowered his feet down. He was quite pleased with himself for being able to do that.. it was like a new discovery and new-found freedom! The video shows his 3rd or 4th attempt:
