Diaper Airplanes

Tonight when I picked Troy up from daycare, he was playing with a small diaper box that they were throwing away. He seemed to have no interest in leaving, so I let him play a little longer. As I was talking to his teacher, he turned the box on its side and sort of scooted backwards into it until his backside was in the box. I asked him if he was trying to get into it. To which he replied, “Yeah.” So I turned the box back up, picked him up, and dropped him in it. He immediately smiled and started moving the flaps up and down like he was flying a plane. I thought he’d try to get out at some point, because he was kind of squished in there, but he didn’t. He just sat there and enjoyed his box.

When it came time for us to leave, I still couldn’t get him out of the box. So I grabbed him and the box, and I carried them both out of the daycare. The ladies at the front desk were laughing and saying, “How cute is that! He’s so adorable!” So now we have an extra diaper box at home, which doubles as his little airplane.
