Kids Falling Down Stairs

Our kids keep accidentally sliding down our stairs and it's not pleasant when they hit the bottom!  My youngest fell down after a bath while just in her towel.  By the time she hit bottom, she didn't have her towel anymore. I'm not sure what bothered her more - the pain or the embarrassment.  I think we need to refinish our stairs, lay a good carpet down the middle of them, and then add some great stair rods.

Of course, while we are working in that area, a new front door would be nice too with more glass for light in the entryway.  Of course, if my kids keep falling down the stairs in just towels, perhaps a window to the outside world right by the stairs wouldn't be a good thing!
