Shastya Discovers Magnets

I heard a slight commotion. Looking up, I saw Shastya playing with something under the table . . . I walked over to investigate. She had discovered a stack of magnets stuck to the hardware under the table! They were pretty strong magnets. It didn't take long though before Shastya had pulled the magnets off the table frame and was re-sticking them on the table legs. She went back and forth between these locations with the magnets. She had so much fun. A few minutes later, I saw her trying to get our car keys to "stick" to our wooden rocking chair!

Mommy/ Baby Kitchen Organization Project!

Mommy and Baby teamed up to organize the kitchen cupboards. It was baby's idea! She just opened the cabinet, pulled out all the plastic containers and lids, and proceeded to have fun playing with them for a short while. Mommy laughed. Then, when baby was finished, Mommy reorganized the containers, and put them in the cabinet. 

Shastya and the Toilet Paper

Shastya is just over eight months old. I was letting Shastya play with a roll of toilet paper on the floor while I did my hair at the mirror in our bathroom. I have let her play with toilet paper before, but this was the first time she unraveled the roll. The next thing I knew it, she was standing next to the toilet, scooping up the toilet paper and trying to get it in the toilet! Wow. She puts things together. The toilet paper was all connected so she couldn't get it into the toilet. I ripped off some and handed it to her, into the toilet she slipped the toilet paper. The toilet paper began to slip beneath the surface of the water. Shastya cried out and tried to retrieve it! I stopped her. Shastya is so bright and funny. She keeps us laughing.
