free has this new stool for "helping" in the kitchen. right now she is testing the rules of this stool. no jumping on the stool. no climbing onto the kitchen counter. no standing on your blankie when you're on the stool because that makes it easy to slip and fall.
last night she was having some dinner while standing on the stool. she really wanted to jump between bites. she would crouch down and say "jump, jump!" to which i would reply "no jumping." as she's crouched down, dying to jump, she sticks up a finger and says "one, one?" i can't believe she knows how to beg for just one!! i have to tell her "i'm sorry, you can't jump one time, no jumping on the stool!"
she is 18 months old and she is already bargaining for a little bending of the rules. that one little finger sticking up was the cutest thing ever.
