Man . . . all of a sudden it seems like Emily has been on speed mode about getting into stuff. I remember thinking when she started crawling that our house could get into disarray . . . but that was nothing compared to now!!! Emily is RUNNING now and likes to go from room to room to see what she can pull out of a drawer or cabinet and take out and scatter all over the house. When we put her to bed now there is STUFF EVERYWHERE . . . and for a non-clutter person like me it's pretty hard sometimes. Here is what she did last night before bed. She started bringing diapers into the living room and laying down and trying to put them on. When she got bored with that she grabbed both baskets out from under her changing table and carried them into the living room to rearrange the contents for me.
She also found a deck of cards in one of the drawers in the kitchen and ran up and down the hall taking piles of cards from one end of the hall to the other. She found pens in that same drawer and scribbled all over the church directory (which I'm glad it was that and not the floor) and also gets all the spatulas out of the drawer in the kitchen and scatters them all over the house. This morning she tried to drag out several toilet paper rolls from the hall closet and I stopped her . . .goodness gracious this child is busy!!!

Oh Jennifer - it just gets worse from here! It shocks me sometimes how fast Caroline can trash a house! But, it keeps them busy. When Caroline was around Emily's age I would try to control what she got into. Like I would give her the tray of silverware from the drawer and put it on the living room floor. She'd spend a good 30 to 40 minutes just taking the different pieces out. I'd save bottles, containers, and tops and put them all in a box and let her sort through and play. We got Caroline's sand table around that age. She still will play for hours at a time. Get a little table. It's easier to control the sand and put it right outside the back door. Have fun cleaning up :-)!
