Little Boy Forts

I can hear them now: “Do you remember the day dad helped us build a fort in the bedroom?”
“Yeah, we spent all day & into the night stapling sheets to the walls and headboard of the train bed!”
“We even had sheets under sheets that made different rooms!”….
How precious are these memories!!!! Worth so much more than 5 minutes of spackling. So many parents get uptight about the little, even out of the ordinary things. I want my son to think outside of the box & find creative solutions…Yes, one day he will help fill the holes & learn the other side of it. That too will help him define “the box”…which I hope he grows to ignore as much as possible.
