A Pink Stage


What do you see when you look at this adorable pink vintage Cosco kitchen stool? A memory from grandma's house, a piece of 1950's history, a perfect display piece or cool retro seating? It is all of those things. But for a 3 year old, it's also a huge pink mountain, a big boat, a tall building and a great performance stage! My great niece, Raina Rose, used it for all those things when she visited this Christmas. She played for a solid hour on this giant pink skyscraper! And we had such a blast watching her. Up and down, down and up, over the side, sitting on top, standing on top, up and down again, over the other side and back up on top. And then a song, a beautiful performance, a masterpiece. And after each song,  Raina would demand "You guys! Clap!", and we would, gratefully. At the end of the night, she graciously told us "I really enjoyed putting on a show for you guys and I will do it again in a few years".  It was honestly better than a concert costing a hundred dollars. In fact, it was worth a million.
