The Step Stool

Here's a photo of Jillian using her step stool at her favorite spot ... the kitchen sink. She loves to pretend that she's washing dishes. Sometimes, if Mommy doesn't mind if Jillian gets wet, we'll put a little bit of water into the sink and let her splash around in it. That usually involves filling up bottles or cups with water, and pouring them back out again, though sometimes she misses and it ends up spilling all over herself.

The stool makes the rounds to the different countertops. Sometimes Jillian will take it into the bathroom, and pretend to wash her hands in the sink there. But, her favorite place is still the kitchen. The problem we've faced lately is that she reach about half-way onto the countertops, so that means she can reach quite a few things.

One other note: Mommy found Jillian tonight with her head all the way in the sink. Apparently, our little monkey had used the stool as a starting point, and had managed to pull herself up and over the countertop.
