She fills; she pours

This is Caroline's current favorite activity. Note that she's also in her favorite outfit -- swimsuit top and her sister's sundress, which has been worn more by her than by Lizey. (Caroline's comment to me on said dress: "Lizey said this was MY dress. [Reflective pause.] But Lizey is welcome to share it with me." Such a noble spirit.
Above, she fills her teapot in the bathroom sink.
Then, she carries it carefully down the hall to her room, where she pours the water into the matching teacups, a stray cup, and, truth to tell, a bit for the carpet.

So glad she can have this Montessori-esque experience without my paying $10,000 a year for it. :-)

So absolutely adorable!! P.S. Where did you get that super fabulous looking step stool that looks like it also has a compartment??

Julie, I don't know if you'll check back to the comments, but in case you do, and in case anyone else is interested, that's actually a little potty! It functions as a step stool as well. :-)

These are precious photos of caroline. Isn't it a great feeling to know you are saving money (Montessori tuition) and your kid is still having a good time and learning things--in this case, hand-eye coordination with an occasional lesson on water sensation as she misses the tea cup while pouring? I've been wanting to get B a tea set, but I don't know how Sam would feel about that.
