Today was a deep-cleaning day, unfortunately. I had A TON to do and Jack kept pretty well-occupied in his room for a while. After I finished the bulk of the work, I took him outside to play, even though I was catching his cold and felt AWFUL. He went "looking for treasure" in the garage earlier and I found a bunch of his toys, including his soccer ball and his Elefun game, so we took the soccer ball outside to play. That child could be REALLY good! I showed him some basic moves and he was soon dribbling that ball all over the backyard, kicking it and even doing some little cross-steps! I was really impressed with him!
Afterward, we came in the house and I brought out the Elefun game. I couldn't find a net for him to catch the "butterflies", so I just gave him a bowl and that worked great, lol. He had a blast!
Funnily enough, another toy he picked out was a mirror from his tummy time mat from when he was a tiny baby. The mirror makes cute animal noises and sings songs and he HATED it when he was a baby!!! He would HOWL and pucker up and get his feelings SO hurt every time he even saw that mirror, much less heard it go off. It lived under our bathroom vanity for the longest time and we finally had to find the off switch because the cats would get under there and set it off and he would hear it from 2 rooms away and start wailing. The sounds made him laugh tonight, so I guess it only took 3 1/2 years for him to be okay with it, lol.
