Box it up and ship it out!
He’s not brand new. I no longer have a receipt and warranty ends at the door. But he’s super cute, comes with a great sense of humor, a healthy dose of grumpiness that’s easily fixed with a cookie and an unhealthy fascination for dinosaurs and boxes. Takers? Anyone? Now now, don’t judge me… I gave him food for the trip, didn’t I?
What is it with kids and boxes? He’s like a kitten; he’ll see a box and no matter what size it is, he’ll move heaven and earth to squeeze his really long legs (He’s exceptionally tall. Gets it from his dad) in there in a way that is bound to be uncomfortable. Then he sits there and watches tv.
This was him right after waking up this morning and dragging an old box from the attic. Kids are weird.
He’s as good as new after a heavy dose of antibiotics. His very first antibiotics. He loved every sip of that gooey, sticky, heavily flavored and overly sweet drink. Yikes. Blood work came back and it turned out to be the remnant of a pneumonia, probably caused by the H1N1 flu he came down with several weeks ago, something I told our doctor several times before she finally took action. Never underestimate a mother’s instinct.
He’s off to school again tomorrow. Does it make me a bad mother that I’m looking forward to some peace and quiet around the house? Too bad, because I really do!
Now I gotta spring the hairdresser appointment on him because no amount of hair gel in the world can tame that blonde hair of his anymore. He’s gonna give me hell for sure.
Boys are the new girls, didn’t you know?

My son actually FIGHTS the cat for the boxes. It’s really weird, but I guess they feel cozy in those tight spaces.
I’m glad he’s ok… And yeah, he’s adorable!
My youngest has several boxes around the house. He even cuts out windows and doors! If he can’t fit into the box, it becomes a home for his stuffed animals.
My little girl would probably fight the cats for the boxes, too, except she prefers to sit in the laundry baskets whenever they are laying around empty.
My son is forever in the laundry basket..thats his favourite place ! We dont have enough boxes his size, otherwise, he’d live in them…Love this pic, Kay…your son’s lovely…glad he’s back in action…
So I’m not the only one with these funny kids and boxes. My oldest son goes to the market for boxes and he cuts out windows and doors…even the kittens have their own box…they sleep in it. How funny :)
All the kids are same I think… My 2 kids also the same. They sit in a box and push one another taking turns. I’m glad your little one is completely ok. What more we aks from God?
Your ‘boys are the new girls’ comment made me laugh. =)
You’re right, there’s something about kids and boxes–when I was little I LOVED them and there are countless family pictures of me and my sisters inside them, sleeping in them, playing in them, pushing each other around in them . . . they’re the perfect toy. =)
Boxes are great and they are free!
Left you a little somethin on my blog.
So glad to see he is doing better…and wow is he getting big. Could tell he is tall even through the box! Have been sending prayers for you guys…happy to see a healthy boy in a box!
