Calvin has been learning some essentials from his dad this week:
how to turn the laundry basket into a rocket ship for two (he also saw how to fix it with duct tape after dad crashed the rocket)
the art of fishing...we're still working on the catching part - no fish yet!
Calvin also helped his dad install his NEW forward-facing car seat. I think it makes him look so much older! He loves the arm rests, cup holder, and much more leg room. However, I think he likes the big box that it came in the most.
I cut a hole in the side for a window and then kept wondering why I spend money on toys.
Calvin has spent a lot of time in his box this week. He refused to come out yesterday morning for family prayer, but he did fold his arms reverently (which he only does about half the time anyway) so I guess we'll keep the box.
And of course his dad had to show him a thing or two about playing in boxes.Here's a video of Calvin in action. I've been trying for awhile to get him to talk on camera, so I was thrilled to get a couple of words out of him (listen close for "box" and "baby"). Also, I'm soliciting opinions about Calvin's hair. I really like it long, but I noticed how shaggy it's looking in the pics from this week. Should we cut it again? (I'll try to figure out how to do one of those polls.)

Playing in boxes was the BEST as a kid. I agree that buying toys is a waste.
Russell looks right at home in that box with Calvin. Maybe you can get rid of your bed too, and just bunk it in the box.
cute! loved that video. I like his hair long too, but you could always just trim it a little, or have it short on the sides, like a bowl cut? OR you could perm it so it's always long but just stays out of his face. haha!
He's so cute!I love how kids prefer a new box over a new toy... ironic isn't it?
How much fun can be had in boxes astounds anyone -- who knew!! Build a box fort and play in it for weeks...that's the best!
That is so cute! He is getting so big! I love that he is sitting in his stroller and Russ is in his chair just fishing away. Not sure about the hair, maybe just trim it so it's not in his eyes? He looks so cute though, tough decision!
