Her Own Stool

Bruce is real good at wood working. He saw something like this

in a magazine and made it for Royanne.

We call it her stool.

It can be adjusted as she gets taller. The standing surface

can be lowered and secured in the different notches.

She really likes it. She can see what I am doing on the

island - which has its good points and also bad - but

her movements can also be contained when coloring

or finger painting (which I am working up the

nerve to do). In this picture she is working

on a puzzle.

Here she is coloring. This is also a great temptation

for her because when she thinks I'm not paying

attention, she tries to climb up on the island. She's a real

good climber, don't forget!

Here she is trying to assist with the family

finances.........

........trying to plan out a better strategy.



Looking at a calendar from last year, on the
DECEMBER page.

She loves pecking on the calculator. It is like the

buttons on the TV, cell phones, remotes.......

but this is a yes-yes, not a no-no.

Seeing the view in the calculator change while

punching buttons fascinates her.

Flipping pages.

Taking a crayon to it.

(Left handed)

She really looks like she's doing something

important, huh?
