When all else fails, open the tupperware door

Allie has some new favorite toys. And really, I mean favorite. A week or so ago, she was having 'one of those days', which is really rare around here. She didn't want to play with any of her toys, she didn't want to climb up and down the stairs and she didn't even want to play with me! Ugh. So when I was trying to cook dinner in the kitchen and Allie was whining and fussing, I decided to open our cupboard that holds all of our tupperware. And let me tell ya, the heavens opened and I hear a choir singing 'hallelujah!'. Allie was mesmerized by all things plastic in there. She seriously sat there for 45 minutes playing (no joke, all you who have had a 13 month old know that is a LONG time to play with one thing!) It definitely saved my day. And now, tupperware is her most favorite thing to play with. She ventures into the kitchen at least 3 times a day, knows exactly what door to swing open, and plops down for some good fun (she's even climbed INTO the cupboard a couple times, see below:)
