WARNING: Keep this plastic bag away from babies and children

I realize that playing with plastic bags is a big "no, no."  There's a warning printed on the bottom of the bag and all.  But I'm always right there.  Supervising.  With the camera.  And surprisingly, unlike paper and cardboard, Stella isn't interested in eating these.  She just wants to throw them around.

At least once a day she crawls over to our entryway dresser, pulls herself up, and begins unloading the bag drawer.  At first, I tried to redirect her.  And then it dawned on me that this was a perfect 15 minute activity.  Go for it, girl!  She started by pulling bags through a tiny crack. 
 
Then she realized she could open the drawer and eventually perfected tossing each bag to the ground and then pulling the drawer to the ground.  She's nothing if not thorough.

If it keeps her entertained, I would totally go for it too. Glad you are supervising + taking pictures! Let us know how we can help with the move.

Actually, if you change the hair to blonde in the second picture, I could send you a pretty identical one of her daddy when he was that age, except he was emptying clothes out of a drawer instead of bags. (yes, those were the days before grocery stores had plastic bags).
