Quick note:

Today, Milo climbed up on a stool on her own for the very first time. We keep a stool at the foot of the bed so that Sophie has an easier time jumping up there. When preparing for Milo, we decided that an easy storage solution was to put the bed on risers and store boxes under. It worked out great, but Sophie is old and needed a little help with the jump.

Milo loves that stool now that she’s mobile. She daily goes over to it, pushes it around like a walker or just flips it over and marvels at her own strength. Today, though, she figured out how to get a leg up there. Then she figured out how to get her other leg up there. Then she figured out that she was on top of it.

Then she saw Sophie laying right there on the edge of the bed right in front of her. She squealed with joy and latched those sweaty, slobbery hands right on that cat. Sophie let out her meek little meow (she’s not a loud meower, even when facing imminent danger), and I rushed over. Well, I took a photo and then rushed over.
