ode to a red bouncy ball

documenting our first game

last night, jude learned his first real game. i'd been practicing rolling that ball to him for a while now. but last night was the first that he actually grasped to catch it and roll it back. it is just so awesome to see the light bulb go off- and the wonder in his eyes when he realizes that he knows a game. {and it didn't hurt that i was cheering with each roll. this was one proud mama}

i firmly believe in the simple toys, that lack the bright lights, bells and whistles. the ones that grow imaginations.  and this ball fits that mold to a tee!
