Joshua's New Favorite Toy

Whenever we are at the store and Joshua sees the ball bin he always points and grunts to them.  I tell him, "When you start walking Mama will get you one of those balls."  The timing couldn't have been better; right around the time he started walking he developed an obsession with balls. 

Over the weekend Daniel and I took our little J to get his new ball as promised. 

He spotted the bin of balls. 

"Hhmm, which one do I want?"

"I think I will take this one..."

"...and this one."

He got a large one and a regular sized one.  Of course he wanted to play with them right in the middle of Wal-Mart.  He  didn't want to be carried or sit in the cart because he wanted to be throwing, kicking and chasing his new balls.  He wasn't very happy when we had to take them away to ring them up.  He pointed to them while crying, "baw, baw, baw, baw." 

"In my car seat with my new toy."

"I'm happy now that I got my 'baw' back.

He had such a blast playing with his new balls when we got home.

The ball is as big as he is.

 

After 20 minutes of carrying them around, throwing and chasing them he was exhausted and ready for his nap.
