Caroline's "Computer"

[puppetmaker]

Yesterday Caroline informed me that she created a computer for her. It consists of her Diego Colorform Box on its side so it looks like a screen and a pink metal fauchon box that she got from who knows where. The metal box is the "keyboard". She has been "typing" on the box and telling me what she is doing on her computer including who she has gotten e-mail from and what she said in reply. She has been quite content playing with it.

Yesterday she took her exercise mat and my throw blanket and put it over the coffee table and the couch creating a cave for her and her stuffed animals. It reminded me of these large "junk" games I use to play as a kid. I honestly don't remember who named them junk games but I am assuming that it would be one of my parents. But we had a whole bunch of toys and stuff that we use to turn into anything we could imagine. Nice to know that those genes passed onto the next generation.

I am grateful for junk games and the next generation of them.

She is VERY VERY imaginative.

But you and Peter are both incredibly creative people. As observant as she is, that has to rub off.

Good on you.

BTW, some of the best fun I ever had was playing in a large empty cardboard box.

I know. Did you ever see a Pixar cartoon called the Tin Toy? I think they won an Oscar for it.

Sounds familiar.

Probably remember it somewhere in the back of my very littered brain.
