All Aboard!

Carson has developed an adorable obsession. 
Whenever he finds a box large enough to plop a baby, a baby he does plop. And then said baby experiences an afternoon of high adventure while Carson seems to just genuinely appreciate giving Jonah a thrill.

As this was first becoming a thing, I expressed a lot of concern to Carson. I explained that Jonah was going to get scared, or warned the weight distribution in the box presented a high risk of tipping, or cautioned that Jonah could accidentally get pushed down the stairs. Carson persisted despite my warnings, and I have been proven wrong time and time again. Carson takes such good care of his little brother on their joy rides and it's become their thing.

Jonah contently participates as passenger while Carson cautiously slides him here, there and everywhere.  About once a week I find them using various boxed items as a vehicle, and now I think I love it as much as they do!
A favorite was when they finally put the toy kitchen Lincoln got for Christmas to good use by turning it into a "rocket ship." 

The rides often involve tours around the house to stop and inspect various views together. 
Often Carson will throw in some pillows or toys to keep Jonah comfortable during his travels. 
Carson is always so sweet and caring with his *youngest* little brother. It's a joy to watch their relationship and love for each other grow. Fingers crossed that they keep this contention-less bond between them forever.

Using the kitchen set as a mode of transportation is so cleverly funny! Sweet older brother to take such good care of baby brother.
