Girl In A Box

Every once in a while (well, quite often actually) we receive packages from the US. Yesterday was such an occasion. A lot of times there will be clothes or toys in those boxes, but that is not the point of this post… The point is that the boxes itself are often used as something to play with as well. I remember one of the more recent boxes being used as a “ship”, and Tobias would be pushing Lorelei around the room in it. This time the box was first used as a “playhouse” for our kitten Darwin. She was playing in it while the kids were laughing at her. Today, as I was sipping my coffee I looked up and saw this picture… It is amazing how long kids can play with such futile things as a box, and how much joy they can derive from that (as did I ).
