Jack-in-the-box

Henry had a love-hate relationship with his Jack-in-the-box. Loved the "pop!" Hated the anticipation. I mistakenly opened the jack-in-the-box in an unorthodox manner the other day: I used the lever to tuck the Jack's arm in when I hadn't completely stuffed him in the box. And since nothing goes unnoticed by a toddler, Henry now just pops open the lid when he feels it's appropriate. 

Now I have a love-hate relationship with the Jack-in-the-box. Love Henry's knack for efficiency. Hate that we can no longer see his sudden change in emotions from the surprise "pop!"
