The other day while driving back from running errands, I happened upon a yard sale that looked like it might warrant a closer look. I ended up scoring a Fisher Price plastic toy boy for $5! Granted, it needed some serious scrubbing, but it had potential. Last night, after Little Bear went to bed, Tim and I took the box to the basement and gave it the good scrubbing it deserved. The bottom of it was a lost cause but for what I had in mind, no bottom wasn't going to be an issue.
After cleaning it up, drying it off, I took it into Little Bear's room and gathered all of his stuffed animals and lovies up and gave them all a new home. At first, I just put all of his stuffed animals in there, but there were too many of them! So I sorted out his puppets and put them in their own basket. Now what animals were left fit just perfectly.
This morning, I went in to get Little Bear up and before I could even pick him up, he was pointing to the new box full of lovies sitting next to his crib asking "What's that?". I helped him out of his crib and he was instantly over to the bin of lovies showing them the proper love they deserved.
I think he would willingly choose to sleep in that box if we would let him.
I call that $5 and some elbow grease well spent.
