Every Light In the House Is On

For awhile now we've had a single step type step stool in the kids bathroom for Fletcher to use. When we had this house built we opted for "his height" cabinets in all of the bathrooms. Those are the tall ones. Great for tall people, but difficult for little people. Now that Luke is old enough to get to the sink too, I decided we probably needed a step stool with two steps so he could reach as well. I left the old one in the bathroom.

Switch to Luke's room: Luke had been climbing on one of his toys to turn his light switch on and off. Then one day he got the brilliant idea to use the old step stool. It makes him just tall enough to reach it. I have to hand it to him for thinking to do that on his own.

Now he carries his little step stool all over the house turning on ALL the lights and the fans that he can get his little hands on. Then he goes and turns them off. Then back on again. I should probably stop him, but he is having so much fun doing it "all by himself" which is a huge deal in the mind of a two year old.

So Kevin, now you know why our light bill is going to be ridiculoulsy high this month.
