Fit already!

Do you ever wonder why kids do what they do?  Luke continues to find new places for his toys.  He’ll still stash them in the entertainment center, bathtub, kitchen drawers and the trash can (if he can get it open).  His thinking on this always throws me. 

Well a couple weeks ago Luke actually surprised me by trying something new with his toys.  He got a hold of one of those 8” soft balls that he rolls all over the house, and decided to try and get it into the towel drawer.  After all, his other toys and even his juice fit quite nicely inside there…so why not the ball too?

The only problem was that the ball was a little big for the drawer.  I think it might have come close to working if he emptied the towels out of the drawer first, but the drawer was full of towels and Luke didn’t take any out to make some extra room.  Luke tried so hard to get the drawer to shut, surely if he pushed hard enough or put the ball in just the right spot, the drawer would shut...right?  Wrong...so the result?  A bouncing drawer!  Luke put the ball in and pushed the drawer shut, to only have it bounce back at him.  This continued over and over, Luke might stop to adjust the placement of the ball...maybe take it out and put it back in the drawer again...but it just wouldn't fit!  Of course…Luke found this funny!  Silly guy.
