tool time

LJ is fascinated with Handy Manny and has a set of his "tools" that he loves to play with. I was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine and listening (off and on) to him play with his tools, which all have their own name I might add. I look up to see him over by the front door playing with the boxes we have stacked from the UPS deliveries. Usually he is climbing the boxes but today he was using his tools to try to open them. Now, I'm thinking there's no way he'll be able to get the box open... it has (had) three sturdy strips of tape on it. Well I was way wrong. I look up at him about 5 minutes later after hearing something fall on the floor. Oh my goodness how did he accomplish this! I walk over to see loads of paper envelopes scattered on the floor. He says "Mommy, I got Daddy mail!" Yes you did son and now we'll get it back in the box. Guess he's learning some useful things from watching Handy Manny after all.
