My Little Houdini

When we received our air shipment at our temporary apartment in Boston, we kept all of the moving boxes and flattened them out in order to store them under the bed. We figured that we would need the boxes to move all of our belongings out to the house, when the time came. Recently, Noah began playing with a couple of the boxes. He asked me to put them together and he has been hiding under them and in them...just playing in general.

The latest development in his "box play" really made me laugh.

Noah climbed into one of the boxes and asked me to close the flaps. He barely fit in there....he was all curled up in a ball. I hesitated because I didn't know if he would be able to get himself out once the flaps were closed...I thought he might panic. I did what he asked and closed up the box, he pushed the flaps open from the inside and popped out looking very proud of himself.

Of course, we had to do this repeatedly throughout the afternoon. He thought it was a great trick. Then he must have decided to make the trick more difficult.

I tucked him into the box one more time...and the next time he popped out he was totally naked!! He had managed to take off all of his clothes while curled up in this tiny box! I couldn't believe it. He stood there buck naked grinning from ear to ear.

I just wish I had thought to grab the camera....
