Getting In

Caleb's new favorite thing to do is GET INTO whatever he can!  These are just a few of the places he's tried lately.  I wish I had a picture of him in one of those baskets you can use instead of a cart at the store.  He thought it was wonderful!  

 He plays in our laundry basket every day now.  Of course the liner isn't there anymore since it falls down too easily.  Without it he can see out of the holes and wants us to put the lid on as well.  I never knew we'd get hours of fun when we registered for this at our wedding.

 An old picture, but he would play in the dryer every day as well if we let him.  And he prefers the door closed (not all the way of course).  The other day he had a phone and wanted Matt to close the door so he could talk on it in peace.  He tried to get a video but it didn't work out.

 Nothing is too big...

...or too small to try to get into.  This is a pie plate that he likes to play with.  He wasn't able to figure out how to sit in this one though. 

This bowl for his bath toys worked better. 

 I was baking the other day so he pulled out another pan and got into it. 

 Bags are fun too, but it's too easy to fall over.  

 I think he'd try to get into the oven if I let him.  He was trying very hard to get all the way into the drawer under it.  And yes, he took everything out himself.

 He's recently started to put things into the baskets with him.  Yesterday Matt said he played happily for 20 minutes with his legos in the smaller basket.

 Hmm, can I fit into this spot where the drawer goes.

Another small one where he needed a hand to balance.

 The other night he decided to take out the pans, bring them out of the kitchen, and try to get into them as well.  It was tricky...

 ...but he did it! 

 Even a tipped over basket is worth trying to sit in as he listens to music on my phone.

I love this!  Today after his basket ride, he wanted "Fuzzy," my old bear, to join him.  He thought the idea was brilliant.  Taking a ride with a friend makes it even more fun!  (He loves hugging Fuzzy, and this morning got his giraffes and wanted me to make him hug them, and then HE hugged all three.)

I'm sure we'll have more pictures to come of fun places he'll find.
