Boxes!

Well, a box arrived at our house yesterday filled with books. When we opened the box, Zeal was super cute: he looked up at me and with sweet sincerity said, “I’m proud of you Mom.” Then he proceeded to empty the box as fast as he could.

He first tried to build a Book House, but that didn’t work (don’t worry, these ones accidentally all came individually shrink wrapped so they were extra durable).



Then he made a stunt set for his cars.


But really what it all boiled down to was that he wanted the box for his stuffed animal friends. They need a new house, he said.

Later he came to me and asked me to sign a book to him. So we sat together, he told me how he wanted it signed, and then we read the chapter on storytelling together. It renewed us, and brought back memories, so we spent the evening telling stories (yes, with the box as a prop).
