Basket Cases


Robert and Samantha are complete basket cases! Here they are from earlier in the month sharing the toy basket and watching television. Very often they sit separately, in their own basket.

What is it about wicker baskets? They also have an affinity for our table linen basket, a round basket of approximately 2.5 feet tall. They love to topple it over, and roll it around. Sometimes they just crawl inside. This evening we watched in awe as they learned how to topple it and pick it up by its ends (top and bottom) and carry it around the dining room. 

To watch them work is like watching an army of ants. For tiny infants, they are capable of amazing tasks, lifting and moving heavy objects. Samantha likes to pull the parrot's cage around with Robert hanging off the side!

We watch in wonder of their accomplishments.
