So Cole got a Razorback toy box for his birthday from Charolette and Jerry. We completely filled it to the top with all of the toys he got at the birthday party. There were so many, he runs around like a crazy person from toy to toy, trying to decide which one to play with. Normally I just get a few out and leave the toy box closed. The other night, however, I left it open and let him go to town. He took every toy out and climbed in it and sat. And sat. That is all he wanted to do, to get in that box!! It reminds me of a story Bro. Sonny used to tell when he was preaching. He and his wife pawned some of their class rings so they could have some money for their daughter's first Christmas. They were so excited for her to be able to open up girts on Christmas morning. They got her something big that came in a box, and once they had everything opened, they sat back to watch her play with the stuff, and all she cared about were the boxes the stuff came in!! Children are truly a blessing and it is so fascinating to me to watch him discover the world! And he is so proud when he accomplishes something he wants, like getting in that box.......he probably wanted to get in it the whole time, there just wasn't any room!!
