Matney has been playing hard the last few days with all of her new toys. Our living room looks like a toy store blew up in it, but it is worth it. She has so much fun dragging everything out and playing with it for a few minutes, then moving on to the next thing. I can't wait for her to understand how to pick things up and put them in the toy box (of which we do not have, but we keep hinting to Papa G that she would love a handmade one for her birthday).
Instead of a toy box, we had a basket for quite a while, but quickly outgrew the basket after Christmas. I came up with the great idea of getting out an extra laundry basket that we had to dump all of her toys in to each night. I was doing something this morning and walked back in to the room to find her "in" the laundry basket. She sat in it for at least 30 minutes and played quietly and contently. She would play with a toy for a few minutes and when she was done with it, she would chuck it out of the basket and start playing with the next thing. I keep asking myself, why we have all the toys when such simple things so as the trash can, pans, or a laundry basket make her so happy for so long.
