Caleb's Box...

So, Caleb got this box from Kobi... She brought some stuff in it when she came to visit and instead of throwing it away, she gave it to Caleb... Well, you would have thought she gave him the moon... When she asked him if he wanted it his eyes lit up and he looked at me like, "Mom? Can I really have it?!" He got right to work (for about 2 hours) coloring the inside of it and coloring pictures to tape to the outside of it... (I think he went through all the ink in our markers to get it done...) Anyway, as soon as it was done he climbed behind the couch in a little space they use as a hide out and curled up in a little ball and covered himself with it... He proceeded to do that every so often for the rest of the morning declaring that he was taking his naps... So REAL nap time came and he, of course, wanted to sleep in it... So, after my initial "No" I decided it wasn't going to do any harm, but he had to at least have it on his bed... That night Scott had the kids at bedtime. When I came home he asked, "Has Caleb been sleeping in that box??" Apparently he had convinced his Dad to let him sleep in it too... So, there it reamains, on his top bunk, night after night... It never comes down... If he's not sleeping in it, he's got his stuffed animals in it, is sitting under it up there pretending to be a turtle, or is using it as a barricade in front of the ladder.... He loves it... He gets all happy and smiley when he sees it or we even talk about it... Kinda weird... But even so, it's pretty cute!
