Anna Grace has this thing about carrying around stuff.  Dishes, spoons, etc.  Stuff.  This started with two small toy cups and a toy spoon.  She carried them around and did her "cooking" in various places around the house.  Then she added a toy saucepan (very small one), a toy spatula, a baby bottle, etc.  Initially she would just pick a few things from her favorites and carry them around for the day.  Lately, however, she wants everything, all the time and is having trouble making choices.

Anna Grace was faced with one of these difficult choices on Friday afternoon.  Should she free up a hand by putting down a toy so she can have a drink from her sippy cup.  Or, is the level of thirst really not severe enough to warrant the release of, say, a spatula?  Anna Grace decided she wanted to have her cake (toy) and eat it too.  Here’s the result.
