Balls and Books



About 2 months ago, Dawson discovered a "bahl." A ball is still one of his favorite things. He crawls at a dead sprint toward a ball, grasps it firmly and then holds it over his head with a celabratory "bahl"! He then throws it, chases it, picks it up and proceeds to throw it again - a solo game of catch.
Dawson's other favorite activity is to read. He is constantly sitting down with a book and turning through the pages. Sometimes he'll point stuff out on pages, like a "bahl," which is anything that is round or the balls on the Baby's first Hawkeye Book.
Now, we never taught Dawson to like balls - that's all original to him. We have however, been reading to him since day one. So I'm proud to say his reading is a learned behavior.
If Dawson likes to play ball and read all the while he's growing up, we're sure going to have a lot in common.
