Ball

The little girl next door has a ball that Ava has suddenly taken a keen interest in. So, today, we went to Target and picked up a cheap little ball. It's probably about foot in diameter. It was the last ball left and it's decorated in a comic book superhero, Iron man, in reds and blues. It's not pink and girly. Ava confided in me that she doesn't care. A ball is a ball. It's round and it bounces. Since we got home a little while ago, Ava has hardly put it down. I sat on the floor about three feet from our front door (it has linoleum floor in front of it, all the better for the ball to bounce on) with Ava in my lap and rolled ball to the door so that it bounced and rolled back. Boy, that set Ava off laughing! 

Oh, the things that entertain babes....
