Everything's Ready for Florida

Orginally Published June 2009
Today Calvin tramped up the stairs dragging his little Thomas the Tank Engine on wheels and his Spiderman backpack. He informed that he was packing for the Florida trip. I told him that Mommy would do the packing, and he said, "Mommy, I am a big boy, I can do this."
Later he came and showed me his bag, "It's all packed Mom, Everything's ready for Florida."

He opened up first the Thomas the Tank Engine suitcase which held a pair of tennis shoes and a pack of Kleenex. Next, he opened the Spiderman backpack which was filled with his clothes. (That's where they all went.) I asked him to show me what clothes he had in there and he rolled his eyes, gave me an exasperated sigh and said, "I can't get em all out of there, then I will just have to refold them and pack them all over again!"
