All Boxed Up

I had ordered some clothes for the kids and the package arrived yesterday. It was a relatively small box, but they both immediately were drawn to play with it and try to get inside it. The box didn't last long and was soon crushed, so I went out and got some boxes from the garage and taped them together. One of them, I cut out a door so that they could both walk into it. Benjamin and Anna had a blast with it. For a while they just went in and out of the door and played house a bit. Benjamin got really into it and would say, "Anna that the outside, you open the door and I going to get COLD!!!" He would shrill with delight each time he pretended she was making him cold by opening the door! :) Then Benjamin decided he was going to put his Elmo doll to bed inside the box and read him a bedtime story. Anna quickly joined in and brought her baby in too. They played so nicely with one another as Benjamin did a great job reading a couple books to Anna and the dolls! :) I couldn't resist grabbing the camera and capturing the moment!

I love that she rubs his hair sometimes!


Another exciting thing that happened yesterday was that Anna's fourth tooth finally broke through on the bottom, so she doesn't have to be uneven anymore! The sad thing is that she's been uncomfortably teething for about a month now and I was kind of hoping it was a molar tooth that was causing so much trouble instead of just a little front tooth! Oh, well. Progress is progress!
