And I wonder why I can’t find her shoes…

Shoes-with-pots

I love opening a cupboard and finding some carefully placed toy or article of clothing. I literally laugh out loud.

My girls LOVE putting their things away… just not always where you’d expect.

    LOL! I find Abby’s stuff in the strangest places sometimes too – she’s so absent minded that she’ll just put things down without even thinking about it.

    My 2 yo loves to “organize” as well. Before I start cooking, I always take inventory of all of my cooking implements and then search the house for the missing items.

    That is so cute! The picture reminded me of my kitchen when my son put his favorite stuffed animal (a small dog) in the fridge so the dog wouldn’t get hungry while we were away.

    It’s so funny how so many children across the globe have such basic things in common 🙂 My children are notorious for doing things like this haha… I love finding these kinds of things while they are gone… it always makes me think of them and smile 🙂

    That’s funny! My daughter likes to put things away too but my things. I found my cell phone in her toy chest once and my husband’s wallet in her doll’s carriage.

    I find stuff in weird places too (mostly spoons since that is primarily what Nathan carries around)

    Very cute! My son does this also with lots of stuff! He doesn’t quite understand where everything is “supposed” to go yet! He is 15 months old!

    My daughter does the very same thing! She put an old phone in my husband’s boots and put his wallet in the cereal box. It’s too cute!

    This is so funny and true… we find our 18mo old’s sippy cup in the most obscure places… Places we never ever thought she could get to!!!
