Who’s signing Lily in?
New observation
Lily · 2 yrs 9 mthsPouring and counting at the water tray
Lily filled the large jug and carefully poured it into three small cups, counting “one, two, three” as she went. When the last cup overflowed she laughed and said “too much water!”
Next step: offer jugs and cups of different sizes and ask which holds the most.
