Who needs toys?

Last year around Christmas, Kenny and I kept Nash for a few hours while Brooke and Ray went to a party. Nash did really well for the most part but every once in a while I think it hit him that his parents were gone and he'd get a little upset. Of course, Brooke called to check on him when he was going through a few minutes of fussiness...that's always the way, right? Anyway, I told her he was doing fine but that every once in a while he needed distracting and she suggested that we give him some Tupperware. I questioned how that would go over (assuming he needed a bigger distraction than a plastic bowl), but of course, moms always know what works best! It worked like a charm! He was completely entertained by it. She had of course packed toys for him as well, but the Tupperware was a much bigger hit.

Last week, Brooke sent Jack a little present. (It's TOO cute not to mention - it's a Jack Jack PEZ dispenser) Of course, it came in a box...and while Jack appreciated the PEZ dispenser, he has really fallen for the box! It's been 3 days now and he's still fascinated with it. He bangs on it like a drum, turns it over and around like a big block, and even chews on it like a teething ring when he catches me not paying enough attention! Seems fitting that his new favorite "toy" came from the mom who suggested Tupperware...
























Thanks Brooke!
