Heads *or* Tails – Heads – Build

Heads *or* Tails

HEADS – “Build”
 

I used to do all my grocery shopping on Wednesday afternoons after my Mother finished her half day at work and was available to watch my daughter. From the moment she could walk (11 months) it was all we could do to keep her off the stairs as I carried the bags in, so instead of opening the baby gate I passed the bags over the gate to Mom.

Unfortunately I could carry the bags up faster than she could transport them to the kitchen, so we had a little helper who would unpack them in the livingroom for us. Eventually we discovered that what she like best was to stack and build so I started bring the bags with the catfood cans up first. This was usually a pretty good way to keep her focused and out of the rest of the groceries, usually.

The following series of photos is her at just 17 months. She got to 14 cans here, her record was 18.
