Ellie + Ribbons= no no

I'm not surprised that Callie our 19 month old can destroy a clean house in less than 5 minutes, but I am surprised when Ellie our 5 month old does. Okay, she didn't destroy the whole house in 5 minutes, but she did make a big mess this evening while I was making some hair bows. I was sitting on the floor working on a bow, Ellie was laying in front of me on a blanket. I had my bag full of ribbon next to her blanket and my sewing box next to me. In a matter of a few seconds Ellie rolls over to the bag, grabs it and some how manages to retrieve all the ribbon out of the bag. And then proceeds to unravel all my ribbon from their card board spool things (I don't know what you call them). I look up at her and she's flinging her arms around with ribbon in her hands, and ribbon is flying everywhere. It looked like a big tornado of ribbon had engulfed her. It was quite funny and it appeared that she was having fun, but mommy shut that party down. Babies and long ribbon don't do well together. The loose ribbon ends are now taped down.
