Measuring Up

One of Sophie's current favorite "toys" is a little measuring tape. She discovered it about a week ago, and she insists on holding it in her high chair. It was sitting on the dining room table one day while I was trying to feed her lunch and in between every bite she kept pointing and oohing. I handed her a mini pumpkin, nope. I handed her my fork, nope. I let her have a sip from my glass of water, nope. None of those things were what she wanted. I finally handed her the measuring tape because it was the only other thing on the table and she wiggled with joy. Now she loves to pull the tape in and out, in and out.
