Just a quick one for today. In keeping with the "encouraging independence" theme (see: toddler lunch buffet and toddler snack bucket), I decided it really was time to do a little rearranging in the kitchen so Margaret has free access to her tableware.It was previously stored in a high cabinet by the stove. I simply switched it to a drawer that was holding kitchen linens and moved the linens to the cabinet.

The first day I made the change, Margaret was a little giddy with this newfound freedom and emptied the contents onto the kitchen table. She stacked, sorted, and rearranged the plates and bowls for a good 45 minutes. Then she laid them all out and placed a raisin onto each plate. Cute!
When she was finished, I was amazed to see her gather everything up and place it back in the drawer. It's been smooth sailing since then, happily.

Hi Karissa,
I was just reading some older posts and wondering where you got patterns for the different diapers you made yourself?
Thanks!
Hey Hope,
I used the Verybaby all-in-one pattern: http://verybaby.com/ecom-prodshow/very-basic-all-in-one-diaper-pattern.html
From that page, you can find instructions to alter the pattern to be a pocket, fitted, cover, etc. The pattern was well worth the expense. Very straightforward and easy to use, and the diapers fit well and have held up wonderfully.
Hope that helps!
