As you know Oksana has obsessions. Balls and balloons are always there and are probably the most intense. Others come and go. Firefighters are losing their intensity now and I've seen her develop a new love for containers. Really anything that you can hold things in. She loves to carry around her balls and balloons along with other various objects. Her two favorite containers are plastic grocery bags
and ziploc bags
She will take multiple plastic grocery bags and she will sometimes wrap each item in a bag (or 2 or 3) then put them all in another bag (or 2 or 3). She calls them Target bags no matter where they come from! The ziplocs are also great for holding things and it's even better if you can get a few items in it and then blow it up so it's like a balloon! While those are her primary containers she will use anything she can find. Like boxes
or little plastic containers that are the perfect size for some rocks
The other day we were at a doctor's office. They had a nice little basket on the table with brochures in it. She had found a container! Before I could blink she had those brochures emptied out and she was ready to fill her basket! I guess I need to teach her to say "Welcome to the Container Store!". Then again, maybe that wouldn't be a good idea. She'd spend her whole check as soon as she got it!

Oksana's a girl after my own heart! I'm a total neatnik, one of those "a place for everything and everything in its place" type person, so I'm all about storage. I'm constantly finding new uses for boxes that people have sent me stuff in through the mail; Amazon and USPS boxes are the best! :)
Jackson is the same way! He has accumulated quite a collection of bags and boxes. I watch garage sales and have been able to find a wonderful assortment of tin lunch boxes and drawstring bags. He plays with them every day. Keep an eye on Oksana's socks. One day she will figure out that they can also double as bags...
