silverware, measuring cups, pots & pans, and food containers

This picture speaks volumes about my life right now. Specifically that a grandchild played with these, which happens a lot. All of my grands have liked playing in the kitchen drawers and cabinets. It's not unusual to see canned food displayed on the tv stand, and the occasional pot laying around too. Sometimes it causes an issue when I need something and cannot find it. Back in the day i would have told my kids to put it away. But there's a huge difference being a grandma. I have stopped begin so quick to "put their imagination away". Thats the best way I can describe it. Instead I have stepped back and watched more. Wish I could have done this as a parent. There are plenty of other things to worry about, and for now, silverware, measuring cups, pots & pans, and food containers are not one of them. And I'm ok with that.
