My Child Is A Cardboard Addict
Jaimie on Mar 24th 2008
Alexa’s cardboard addiction has racheted up a notch.
Alexa has figured out that we are not quite pleased by her chewing of cardboard. So now she’s started trying to run off with her loot. But not literally run, since she is still barely walking and would rather crawl than run. She’s found our cardboard recycling bin, which was a thrilling day for her but not a great day for the rest of us. Now she will look around, and when she thinks no one is watching, she crawls as fast as she can to the recycling bin, grabs something, and crawls off as fast as she can move.
And then if she sees someone she hides cardboard under the couch, behind a shelf, whatever is closest.
She’s like a squirrel hoarding for winter. The one bright side is she doesn’t seem to remember she’s hidden any and never looks for it again.
But I keep finding cardboard under my couch…

Ha ha! What a cutie! My son keeps taking the plastics out of our recycle bin. It is annoying but it does keep him busy while I’m cooking sometimes. (Until he starts hitting the dog that is)
Be thankful it’s not the tin can recycleables she’s after!
