Sarah has been carrying this bucket or a purse or a bag around the house just walking around checking out random stuff. Sometimes she'll stop and put something in the container or take stuff out. She found a bib in a drawer and demanded it be put on and she wore it for a while. I've been telling Anna that Sarah is no longer a "baby" now that she's walking but she is now a "toddler" but it is still really novel to me to watch Sarah explore the house.
We actually had a relaxing day today because Sarah was playing with toys rather than going on a constant path of destruction this afternoon. It was so nice to see her being "busy" and not having to follow her every step saying, "no, bookshelves are for books, not people" or "toys are to play with not to put in the toilet." (Anna never put anything in the toilet but Sarah got something in today.) We are learning to shut the bathroom door for the most part but Anna doesn't always remember this new rule.
