The treasure box

Sometimes Kai sits with me while I nurse Kit in his room. To distract Kai, I'll ask him to "find what's in Di-di's (little brother) treasure box". It's this toy box from Ikea that's choc-a-bloc with Kai's old baby toys and other hand-me-downs from friends.

He gets a blast discovering new ways of playing with them. Just the other day, he found a teething ring filled with plastic pieces in different shapes and we spent some time describing the shapes. And he's refused to let me take anything out of the box or from the room! It's a great way of spending time together with my boys.
