If You Give an 8 Month Old a Ladle...

She'll play for an hour.

After my post yesterday about thinking of new ways to entertain Norah throughout the day I gave Norah some random things from the kitchen so I could get a bit of cleaning done. As I went through the kitchen drawer I passed the can opener and pizza cutter (probably not good choices) and decided on a ladle as well as a metal bowl.

Norah was thrilled with my choices. Though she was thrilled with my choices she wanted to add her own into the mix - the laundry basket. It was pretty comical :)

She played with those 3 items for almost an hour... way longer than any of our other toys keep her attention.

  1. I love how babies can keep themselves entertained at that age! (Actually, my 2 and 4 year old still love spoons and pots and pans....)

  2. I once made a twelve hour road trip with a daughter entertaining herself with an empty Gatorade bottle. This post resounds with me. :)

  3. The only way I get dinner done some nights is to put Norah in her high chair and hand her a few random kitchen items :) I'm not sure why I even bother with expensive toys when we have plenty of random things around the house!
