Lately Sam seems to be learning things faster than I notice them. One minute he can't do something, the next he's learned to do that thing plus five others. He never ceases to amaze me.
His favourite thing to do these days is "put things away" - he'll be sitting playing with his blocks, look up, see a laundry basket, crawl over with a few blocks and put them in the basket. Then he will proceed to put more blocks, cars, railroad tracks, whatever is around really into the basket. Or take my kitchen for instance. He likes crawling up to the cupboards, opening doors, pulling out items, putting them back on different shelves. Or putting them in drawers. He loves playing in my drawer full of plastic containers (Tupperware, Ziploc etc) - rearranging the containers and also relocating them to various places. It's so cute to watch. I wish I knew what was going through his head, because it looks like he's trying to sort the items. In fact, this afternoon I was washing out the base of my fridge and I had one of the crisper drawers on the floor. There were various veggies in the crisper, so Sam started moving the veggies around, putting them in the cupboard drawer, in his electrasol tub (yes my son plays with an empty electrasol can!), but eventually he put them back in the crisper. He had even put some toys in the crisper, but then eventually again he took them out and put them elsewhere.
It's so funny.
