It's well known that toddlers love boxes. Alasdair is no exception. He likes to climb into boxes of all descriptions. Cardboard box, wicker basket, or plastic Ikea bin, they are all acceptable to him. Sometimes he squishes himself into a particularly small box and sits down while us grown ups sit around anxiously hoping that he doesn't topple over. Our friend Sheila even built him a house out of a box at her house. It was fancier than your average cardboard box house ... it even had a skylight. What a lucky kid. Well, we are all lucky to have such a great friend.And speaking of friends and cardboard boxes, once upon a time our friends Stasa and Joanna gave Alasdair a great book called Not a Box. Alasdair has always enjoyed this book. It's about a cardboard box, a rabbit and his imagination. The drawings are great and it makes me wonder, when Alasdair crawls into a cardboard box, or a wicker basket or an Ikea bin, just what is his imagination seeing?
ps. Happy birthday to Stasa!
