...is a paper bag with stuff in it. Charlotte has been sitting on the floor playing with her stuff for close to an hour now, which has enabled me to shower and get some other things done around the house. I am so amazed at how entertaining this seems to be for her! She has this bucket of blocks and other small toys at my mom's house, which she seems to enjoy, so I thought I'd do something similar for her here at home. I got together some rattles, a big soft block, some plastic rings and other small toys and put them into a basket, and off she went! Put the toys in, take them out. Put them back in, take out something different. Bang them together, bang them on the basket, put them in the basket, take them out.
Today we tried a different variation--she has been obsessed with this brown paper shopping bag that's in her closet, so I got a smaller bag and put all her toys in there. Instant bliss. She's crinkling the bag, beating on it, turning it upside down, chewing on it...I can see hours of fun here. It's like something new every time she looks in the bag, even if she just put that item in there a second ago! Why didn't I know about this sooner?
