I left Marisa once, just before she was two to get a towel quickly from the linen cupboard, which was very close to the bathroom. I got back to find her having climbed up the bath and into the sink. No idea how she had gotten up there so damn quick but it freaked the living daylights out of me and I made sure I never forgot a towel at bathtime again! Now she is almost four, I pop in and out without too much worry - sometimes she has a bath or a shower and has been fine, although lately she has been wanting to turn off the taps herself in the shower, so I have had to make sure I reinforce to her how she does it without burning herself, as she'll just get out whenever she pleases.

I am all for teaching them about what things mean and what they do. She also uses scissors really well and safely - I dont tell her off for using them but I ask her to tell me if she wants them and she uses them around me. Her kinder teachers can't believe how well she cuts out objects and shapes - a bit off topic but I am so tired I am rambling LOL...
