Kimmie's Santa Bag

In an earlier post I wrote about how Kimmie moves her stuffed animals from her room to the family room by tossing them down the stairs. This is very effective for the larger ones. She has another method she sometimes uses for the smaller ones. She takes her pillowcase off her pillow and fills it up. We call it her Santa Bag. She fills it up and then gathers the opening closed in her hand and hauls it off.

This last time we didn't bother to carry the pillowcase back upstairs, so she plays with it every night. She gathers her small Care Bears and panda bears, tosses them all in the bag, and then carries it around. When she settles someplace, she dumps them out, plays with them for a while and then loads the bag back up.

We always laugh because it looks so much like an overstuffed Santa bag. When she heard us calling it her Santa bag she was confused. She told us it was Kimmie's bag. Her sister asked her if she was going to throw it over her shoulder. Kimmie tried to lift it up to her shoulder but couldn't quite figure out how to get it over her shoulder.

We enjoy watching her play.
