Games…

Matthew did something cute this weekend that got me thinking. He was playing in this big cardboard box in the dining room (insert joke about how you buy your kids lots of toys, but they just play with the box). He had a tiny baseball bat, and a rubber footbal in there with him. He figured out that he could wedge the baseball bat between the two walls of the box, and it would stay there. He immediately started taking the football and throwing it over the baseball bat repeatedly. He thought it was the most fun anyone could have, with a baseball bat, a football, and a cardboard box.

It just got me thinking that it was the first time he has come up with a “game” by himself. Partly because he was by himself, in the dining room. We weren’t hawking over him and Emily was playing in the play room. I guess everyone needs time by themselves sometimes. ANyway, check out the movie on the right…
