Stepping Up

We put a step stool in front of the bathroom sink to make it easier for RR to reach the faucet. She usually enjoys playing with the water more than washing her hands, but that's a different story. She recently discovered that this stool is portable and can be readily moved about the house. It can serve as a soap box for orchestra conducting exercises in the living room, but she has found it can also bring light switches and many other things previously out of reach, in-reach. Gulp!

Going, going, gone.

Cooking Dinner

I chopped up and steamed some broccoli in the kitchen one recent afternoon. RR was playing with some shoes in the living room as I took a bag of scraps out to the trash, but apparently she was keeping a close eye on me as well. At dinner later that day, she looked at her plate and said, "pasta... broccoli!" She paused, and added, "Daddy take broccoli for a walk!"
