Boxes and other ephemera
I knew this before today, but it has been made ever-so-clear to me tonight:
Kids do not need complicated toys.
Take, for example, a box.
We had to buy Gus a new toddler booster seat for the car because he is too tall for his current seat. It came in this lovely, big box. Gus has been playing with this box for two and a half hours.
TWO AND A HALF HOURS.
For about thirty minutes he would say 'bye bye' and close the flaps. Then he threw a pillow, blanket and three varieties of stuffed animal into it. Then Mama and Papa had to take turns getting in it. It's now in our basement, sure to be there for a while....or until it disintegrates from overuse.

Remember that big box I got from work and took home for Alex? I think it originally housed some lab equipment or something. I just remember cutting out windows (you know the kind that shut for privacy) and actually taking some left over linoleum and roofing it! All of these modifications were made with Alex's help after he decided to live in it for a few weeks. What a great time that was. Thanks for reminding me, Gus! love you, Aunt Deb
