Grant goes through stages of different things that entertain him. Lately, if I need a good 15 Grant-free minutes I just give him some cups and water bottles to fill and pull his stepping stool right up to the kitchen sink. He loves to fill them up and empty into different containers. (Oh, and I usually don't let him do this with a steak knife in grabbing range).
Grant also enjoys dressing up, although he usually dons his fireman hat and coat or some of Ryan's shoes. I think this picture is probably one of those that Grant will want to burn when he's a teenager, but for now, it's funny and made it to the blog. This is the only time I've seen him do this though.
The other day he was playing in the garage and came in saying "Mommy, can you help me put these on". I don't even know where we keep these things but he found them, so he got to wear Ryan's old water shoes and work gloves for the afternoon.
Some of Grant's entertainment activities end up being better than others. Last week I was upstairs checking my emails. Tate was down for his morning nap and I knew Grant was just playing nicely by himself downstairs. Well actually I knew it was quiet down there so I should probably go see what he was doing, but I just had one more email to check... Ten minutes later I go down to find Grant had tossed the majority of the downstairs toys down to the basement and was starting to work on adding the couch cushions. At least the living room looked clean and orderly with no toys on the floor :)

He's such a darling and BUSY 2 year old! Bless his mom's heart. :)
Why did you guys have to move???
Ain't it the truth. I am always the most worried about my kids when they are quiet. And, I do love the burnable picture :)
I think 2 year olds no longer play with toys anymore. Making the mess is the fun part for them.
