Since the summer, I guess since he was 4 months old (well as soon as he could sit up), one of Ivan's favorite "toys" has been playing with the plastic box for the wipes. That box is fascinating. Luckily for me, I have one in each room (can never have enough of wipes handy). For months over the summer, Ivan would do nothing but look at the box, turn it, open the flip, close the flip, chew the box and pull and pull on the wipes until they all came out. What an endeless and fascinating source of play.
It was quite a handy tool to try to make him lay still for those few minutes while I was trying to change his diapers (until he figured out how to stand two months ago and started making an immediate bee line for the bed headboard to walk over to the window to look out)
That box (well, all different color variations we have strewn around the house) has been an endless source of fascination, until he started crawling and could pick up Mariposa's toys, and until he discovered the vacuum cleaner. But he still likes to play with the wipes' box.
He's taken a sudden re-interest in it over the last few days. But I noticed his play is different now. While over the summer, he loved to pull the tissues out (and would entertain himself for quite a long period of time), now he seems more interested in figuring out how to push them back inside. Even back in the summer/fall he would stick his hand in the opening to see what's there, but he didn't try to push the tissues back in.
He obviously needs to pull out the tissues and he does it with gusto, but I can tell that's not the object of the play. He is more intrigued to see how to push the issues back in.
I guess it makes sense. For the last few months (since he started pulling himself up), he's gotten very interested in figuring out how things work -- opening and closing doors, the vacuum cleaner, etc...
It's interesting to notice these little changes in him.
