Toys

Right before Christmas, it seems appropriate to do a post about Eileen playing with her toys.
Currently, she LOVES to play with her Little People farm.  She recently learned to work the silo door, and spends so much time sliding it up and down.  Her favorite thing to do is to bring the animals to David and me so we can make the animals' sounds.

 Also, Eileen is obsessed with putting things into buckets and baskets and purses and carrying them around.
And when you take away the buckets and baskets, you get a toddler tantrum:

She likes the handmade oak basket that Chichi gave us.  She probably shouldn't be playing with this- it's far too nice for a toddler.

Eileen also loves to carry around the red bucket from her shape sorting blocks set.  Lately, she's been putting the baby Jesus from her plush nativity set in the bucket.  She even carried baby Jesus to church on Sunday!

This is absolutely the most fun age yet!
