Treasure Boxes

For Jack this last week has been all about his box of treasures, it started slowly with a chandelier drop given to him by Arieal and then the boy next door gave him some cricket cards. He started to worry about his brother taking his bits so i gave him an old bejeweled jewelry box, and that's how it started. Over the period of a week he had collected some stones that i had given him, an old die that was mums the tweezers from his "magnaglass" and of course a few marbles and cars.

The box filled and every time he dropped it it would burst open spilling all of the contents all over the floor, not such a big deal at home but seeing that he was taking it everywhere and sleeping with it we had to come to a better arrangement. The kicker was when we went to my Aunts last week and her friend gave him a large number of NRL cards, the box no longer closed and it was time to rethink the treasure box.

Andrew suggested that i give him a small bag and so know he has a pencil case with all of his bits in it, it took him a few days to let go of the box but i think he likes that his treasures are more secure in the bag and so do i.

Its funny watching him enjoy his possessions and to take note of what he sees as being precious.
