The past few days have been filled with lots and LOTS of Emma holding, Emma comforting, and trying to find ways to relieve her discomfort.
So, when I heard her pull out the basket that holds our CDs tonight - which is usually a "no touch" item - I ignored it and let her play. She wasn't being destructive, just curious. She pulled most of the cases part way out and slid them back in, playing with a few colorful ones that caught her interest. It kept her busy and distracted for quite a while.
Now the thing is, she is happy but I feel bad that I was inconsistent!

i would never think of it at the time, but you could always pull something out from your crafts supplies - all your colorful yarn, threads, whatever, that would normally be no touch but she hasn't learned that one yet :)
good idea - and you're right, I wouldn't think of it either. thanks :)
