[quote=Anonymous]We lived in a four story townhouse when my kids were babies and toddlers. While the stairs got old, the real issues were that: (1) there was no bathroom on the floor with the kitchen dining room (really, an issue for everyone, not just potty training toddlers); and (2) if we were in the basement (where the family room/tv and playroom were) and a kid woke up in their bedroom crying in the middle of the night, it was two LONG flights of stairs to get to them, by which time my oldest would generally have himself so worked up that calming him down was hard. Our new house is a split level... and I was convinced I'd hate a split level, but it's been perfect. The bedrooms are on the upper level, but it's only six steps down to the kitchen/dining/living room. It's enough that the kids feel separate when they are sleeping, but we don't have all the stairs keeping us from them if they need something.[/quote]
