Harry's
closet is one of the boys' favorite places to play (Jeremy's closet is
still full of storage items. I suppose that will have to change soon). Add
to that the fabulous "green thing,"
and in this case a hot June afternoon, and it's a sure recipe for childhood
fun and good sleeping later.
It's
also one thing the boys love to do together and as much as they bang around
- constantly risking the structural integrity of the closet doors, constantly
on the verge of accidentally banging a head on the floor or a wall, and always
teetering between elation and frustration - it is always fun to listen to
while it lasts. I certainly think kids, perhaps boys especially, need to be
able to bang around a little like that and the soft green thing is hardly
the worst prop.
