How to pack a box

This is what it's like to pack boxes for moving with Connor in the room.

- Open box and attempt to tape, removing toddler every few minutes
- Once box is taped turn on side and allow toddler to crawl inside, thus avoiding temper tantrum.
- Remove toddler from box
- Begin to fill box with stuff to be packed
- Walk around the room picking up items that have been removed from box by toddler
- Place items back into box, while telling toddler, "no!" and having toddler reply, "NANANA!" (which is no in toddler language) as he tries to push your hands away from the box
- Fold box
- Tape up box
- Put knee on box while taping to keep toddler from opening box while taping
- Ignore temper tantrum
- Get new box and start process again

I've been there and done that with Cierra! The joys of parenthood. I want a picture of the belly. I miss you guys.
