I was at a friends last week and brought Owen. He found a kid's basketball and just loved it (keep in mind he's a scotty, so the basketball is HUGE for him). He pushed that thing around all afternoon. He loved it. At one point we tried playing "fetch" with him, but the basketball bonked him on the nose and he got scared. Anyway, I was at walmart this afternoon and passed one of those big displays with all the balls. I picked a 4 square ball. Tossed it at my nose (yes, in the store) to see if it would hurt. Tried grabbing it to see if he'd be able to pop it. Bought it brought it home. Tossed it out into the yard, and then went inside to put the milk away. POP. It lasted about a minute. But owen kept pushing it around, and then Yapping at it (he doesn't yap. ever) mad that it wouldn't roll! It just sat there! Boy was he upset. Eventually he picked it up and beat it up a bit, shaking it back and forth. Oh well, there was a 5 dollar/1 minute experiment! Guess I'll head back to walmart and buy the basketball!
Wish I'd had my digital camera with me.
