The Box

For Christmas this year we got lots of presents, and along with the presents came boxes. Now I know that young children seem to enjoy the box more than the present sometimes, but I thought at some point they outgrew this phase. Evidently, Connor has not quite outgrown the idea of a box being an awesome toy. One of the boxes that were left over from Christmas was quite a large box. The box was used as a fort, a hiding place, a storage box, a bed, and many other things. But my favorite was when Connor used it as a “theater seat”. He filled it with pillows and blankets and put it in front of the TV to watch his movies. Evidently the seat was a little small, so he even made a leg hole to stretch his leg. He absolutely loved that box and was completely crushed when Dad decided that the box was torn up enough and hauled it to the dumpster. It took Connor about a week to quit crying about his mean daddy for throwing away his box. Maybe next year Santa will just bring a box instead of the toys.
