Stackin It Up- Toddler Sorting

I wanted to quickly share a moment in our home with you...

Little A has been getting much more into sorting and organizing things. (Is she even related to me?) It seems to just come naturally to her. I would like to think that some of that is due to how we organize her environment with everything having a place and going back to it's place but who knows?

Little A and her daddy were sitting and playing in the living room and this is what I walked into...

We brought some diet sodas home from my mom's wedding and, being the unorganized mommy that I am, I hadn't put them away yet so they became fair game, so to speak. I was surprised at how coordinated she was with being able to stack them up on top of each other, and on the carpet, nonetheless.

She was able to make a stack of three before they would fall over or, more often, get ecstatically toppled over.

This whole scene lasted probably a whole 20 minutes. Both Little A's daddy and I were pretty impressed with her abilities. It reminds me that even the most mundane things can be fun and new to our inquisitive Littles.
