So, if you know Luke at all, you know that he loves any kind of ball he can get his hand on. Basketball, baseball, tennis ball, bouncy ball, ball popper ball (a favorite), soccer ball - any kind at all and he is happy. In fact, these sporting goods have saved us many times from emanent melt downs. For example, the last round of vaccines - the crying was immediately mitigated by the presntation of a tennis ball. Mother's Day Out and Church Nursery nerves are calmed by "Luke, would you like to play with a ball?" And any time that "stranger danger" rears its ugly head, we know now to hand the new person a ball, and all is right again with the world.
Yesterday, my mom took her two hour tour to the grocery store and Walmart and came home with the mother of all gifts - an inflatable ball pit.
Luke's dream come true, an enclosed container with endless, colorful balls at his fingertips. To say that he loved it, would be the understatement of the year.
At one point he tried to hug it.
Andrew, to say the least, was underwhelmed.
That's the best toy ever! I got one for my sister-in-law and she said all the other kids wanted to come to their house to play in it!! Oh what fun! Hope your precious boys are treating you well!!
