Box Car Baby

So it appears that Aunt Sarah (Holtschlag) was right about you when she sang Hobo's lullaby for you. Today you had your first ride in a box car ... not quite the kind she sang about, this was one an old diaper box that Grandma turned into a car, but who really cares about the details? Grandpa has been saying all along (this time he really has been) that it is too bad we have wood floors because you can't make cars out of boxes. My response has been two things ... first, you should see the shape our floors are in, dragging cardboard boxes on them might actually be good for them. Second, we can staple an old towel to the bottom of a box and you'll be good to go! You were in quite the mood today when you were playing with Grandma. You'd just sit in that box, hold on to the edges and have this smug little look on your face. Nothing we did would make you smile, however, if Grandma stopped moving you around you would whine and grunt until she started again.
