Say It Ain't So!


Poof Ball
I sent these pictures out via email just a couple days ago. The boys LOVE this ball. Aunt Tanya sent it for Christmas and it is so fun for them and so good for them. OT's love it because it offers compression and bouncing for loosening of joints. It relaxes them and "centers" them so they can concentrate on their work. And of course the boys just think it's fun. After a while it got a hole in it and dad patched it a couple times, but they still found new ways to play with it every day.

Well about 5 minutes after I hit the send button to send the pictures of our favorate toy, the patio door opened and my 3 boys came in whining. "Mo-oooom, it brooooke!" And indeed it had. Ripped from stem to stern. Ethan wanted dad to fix it with the hole fixer and air pump, but that just wasn't gonna make. Finally Dad was able to distract them to the Kangaroo Balls, whispering on his way out the door, "get on the internet and FIND ANOTHER ONE! NOW" So I did and it's supposed be here sometime next week. I just hope we can last that long. Every day the boys ask, several times, to "please play Poof Ball". Poof Ball: The ball is a little deflated. Dad puts weight on one side of the ball, one of the boys sits on the opposite side. All on a sudden dad presses hard on his side and boy "poofs" up in the air! (see pic above)
til later.....

They really wear him out! The pool has taken the attention away from the ball. It came in the mail a couple days ago, but we haven't opened it yet. Shhh
