They would have come out of the OUTside of the box about an INCH! So I thought I'd try it this way for a little while.... my little guy has done fine with it so far. Doesn't seem to be interested in playing with the lid (yet!).<br /><br />Thanks for all the comments!!!!

I have no place for them in my house. And I can't always pick 'em up and bring them to the thrift store. Sigh. I cant believe people are just throwing them away! :(<br /><br />If everyone saw what you can do with one, like you did, they wouldn't throw them out now would they?<br /><br />I bet your son's happy!!Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950869384590782390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936857981090854463.post-3080702421158664782009-09-21T11:14:06.258-04:002009-09-21T11:14:06.258-04:00Hello from Kansas!
