On Monday I found this awesome blue toy mailbox at the thrift store. It’s huge and super cute (and it opens!) The better news is that I was able to convince Bug to play with it by putting a skein of yarn inside of it. And so I present: The Saga Of Bug And The Big Toy Mailbox.

“Oh, is there yarn inside that big blue thing?”


“Oh, I think I can open that”

“There we go.. I’m following directions and ‘opening quietly'”

“I got it open! Stop trying to take it back, it’s mine now!”

“Muahaha, I have won the prize”

“I love you, big blue box: holder of yarn”

“Any more??”
