Smarter than we give her credit for...

Sunday night as Doug was taking out the trash and I was cooking dinner Katie decided to become a more independent little girl and showed us she's smarter than we often give her credit for. Doug recently showed Katie that she could reach her bedroom light switch on her own if she moved her wicker stepstool to be tall enough to reach it. This was an exciting thing, so now much to her delight, she's in charge of turning off/on her bedroom light whether it's needed or not. It's also become especially fun for Katie to rapidly switch it on/off many times, our neighbors must think we have a strobe light. Well, on this evening Katie went upstairs ahead of Doug and decided to move her stepstool into Mom/Dad's bedroom to turn on the bedroom light! Doug was surprised to see her reasoning extend beyond her own bedroom and into other areas that suited what she wanted to do. Katie is certainly proving to be a surprising little 2 year old!
