Clothes Peg Fetish

Babies seem to enjoy every day household items so much more than carefully designed expensive age-appropriate toys. Tupperware, pots, measuring spoons, spatulas, paper, blankets and lately clothes pegs are infinitely more fun! One day Lilli discovered the bright clothes peg bag in the bottom of the laundry hamper and the love affair began. She spends minutes at a time flinging the clothes pegs into the laundry hamper and taking them out again. If they fall in too deep she calls for assistance with a stamp of a little foot, a scowl and a frustrated whine. I find clothes pegs all over the house, even in the bathtub. I have clothes pegs in my jacket pockets since we have implemented a new rule: no clothes pegs while in the car seat. Lilli isn't complete without a clothes peg in each hand and extracting them from her surprisingly strong grasp can be quite a challenge!
