Curiosity

Amanda is our little adventurer now, getting into anything and everything.  She pulls herself up on tables and chairs, and grabs whatever is within reach. She opens drawers and dumps out their contents.  She follows big sister around and gets into whatever Eva is trying to play with.  This doesn’t always sit well with Eva, especially when she’s trying to build with blocks or put together a puzzle, and she’s spent a few incidents in time out for roughly pushing Amanda away.  Most of the time they play very well, though, with Amanda being the longsuffering guinea pig for any experiment that pops into big sister’s head (last time it was burying her in blankets and trying to make her lie down and “nap” in their play tent).  Eva is pretty consistent now with using the potty, though she’ll still switch into training pants when we’re not looking, to do #2.  That’ll be our next challenge.   Amanda likes to crawl into the bathroom while Eva is there, unraveling the toilet paper roll and playing with the snowy pile.  What a mess!
