We love a box š¦
Full time business owner. Full time single parent. Homeschoolingā¦sometimes Henry has to be left alone with his imaginationā¦and the best gift of all, a cardboard box š«¶š¼š¦š«¶š¼.
When I need to buckle down and get work done, I try to set up play dates for the boy, but some days it doesnāt work out. He has a check list to complete. Reading time. Even a little amount of screen time is allowed when I have to get stuff done. However, my favorite time is when he just has to keep himself busy.
His imagination and creativity has skyrocketed during this season of life. Heās a kid just allowed to be a kid. When we first were thrown into homeschooling, I was constantly interrupted with, āIām boreeeedā or Henry needing specific instructions and constant tasks or ideas. Now he figures it out on his own. He comes up with ideas and gets creative on how to implement them. That one box alone has been a shelter, a sled, an airplaneā¦..and now whatever that thing is š¤£
Long live childhood and long live the box! š
