The Simple Things

Jude and I have discovered, firsthand, that it's not the store bought toys that capture John Patrick's interest, it's the simple ones. Tupperware is a big hit, especially when we put him in his high chair, while we're getting dinner ready for him. He loves to tear up paper and to play with plastic water bottles.

The last few days, he's enjoyed sitting in this box, playing and talking. Since these photographs were taken, Jude drew wheels on it and glued a paper steering wheel on the inside of it. Now, John Patrick has his first car. She pushes him up and down the hall upstairs, making car noises, as he sits contentedly his in "car." It's pretty funny.
