There are times I think kids can be too smart for their own good, or at least for the sanity of the parents. Jane has figured out too early how to reach things off of the counter, the table, or anything just slightly out of reach. There are a couple kids size wooden chairs here. She will grab one and push it all around to climb up onto to reach the desired item. Now she has upgraded to a full size chair.
If she sees me at the chopping block in the kitchen she knows that means food is being prepared. She will run and get one of the chairs in the dining room and push it into the kitchen next to me. She will push a chair up to the dining room table so she can then climb up onto a dining room chair and be up at the table. Jane will mostly use the kid chairs in the dining room and kitchen where she can push them around. But even in the living room if there is something she can't reach or climb up on she will find something to give her a little step up. If she can problem solve like that now I wonder what it will be like when she get older.
