The Best Toys

I know we’ve all heard about how kids love boxes more than toys themselves, but it’s so funny when you really see it in action…

We upgraded Kate to a bigger girl car seat in Kevin’s truck and because we have the Target card, we could buy it from them cheaper online AND get free shipping.  So that’s just what we did.  The seat was delivered this week and Kate was SO excited about it.  She kept saying “I’m Maverick!”.  Maverick is her cousin and he’s just a few years older than Kate.  I’m guessing her new car seat looks a lot like his.

Anyway, while I was in the process of figuring out how this new seat worked, Kate kept herself busy with the box- for like an hour!  Seriously.  Nothing holds her attention for that long, but this box sure did.

She especially loved for us to close her up in the box all the way.  See that little flashlight at the bottom of the picture above?  She would take that in there with her and just sit for a few minutes with her Lion King figurines.  As long as she’s not drawing on the wall, destroying her room, or cutting her hair. we count it as a win when she’s entertaining herself.  Score one for the parents.

I think she enjoyed this car seat box.  She better have.  It’s the last car seat she’s gonna get.
