Today Ava Played With The Box

Just before Christmas my boss told me "Don't get your daughter any toys. Give her an empty box and some paper. It'll save you a lot of money and she'll be happier than if she had toys.

Forget expensive toys. You're getting
cardboard from now on.

I somewhat dismissed his words. How could we not get you toys, it's your first Christmas? 

I should have heeded his advice. Six months later and you still want to play with the box. 

Mom ordered a water table for you from Amazon.com and it arrived this evening. She was eager to assemble it and see your reaction. An arctic theme, it's blue in color with green legs and complete with a "glacier" protruding from the table. The glacier has slides for the little toy penguin to go down. It also has two other toys - a polar bear and sea lion. 

The dry run was a success and we'll set it up in the back yard for you to play with tomorrow. 

All was well until you spotted the box, then the table was all but forgotten. You must be hanging around the cats too much because you wanted to crawl on, in and over the box. 

It was honestly fun to watch because you were unsure of the stability at first and gingerly tried to climb on top of it. Once you knew it was stable - game on. 

Mom even crawled into the box and you back on top playing wth her. I caught some of it on video. Have a look:
