I brought my brother to my new house for the first time on Thanksgiving. He had a pretty hard time on the stairs. We took him to the side door so that he could go up the stairs inside the house instead of outside the house. We figured there was a better railing and better lights. But I think because he doesn't do stairs anymore that it's really difficult for him. In general, we figure we can lift him up by under the arms and just lift him up the stairs, but he doesn't like that.
I felt a little bad because I was cooking and hostessing and didn't have a lot of time to talk to him. Our guests (my son's girlfriend's family) didn't talk to him much at all, which is not surprising because if you don't know him pretty well, it's hard to engage him in any conversation at all.
Tomorrow I am taking both my kids and having breakfast with him, I assume that it is going to go a lot better. He likes his routines.
