I don't know where this ball came from. My best guess is that it belongs to the Swansons, our next door neighbors, as they have all the coolest toys. Anyway, I found it in our yard, and it has become my new favorite thing ... at least for today. I love to bounce it down the front steps. Mommy stands at the bottom, retrieves it, and kicks or throws it back up to me. I could do this over and over again all day. Even some of the older kids think my game is pretty cool. Sometimes when I'm playing this game, Zoe Swanson - she's four - comes over to play with me. Mommy has to help her remember to let me catch and throw the ball every once in a while. It's OK with me, though, when she plays. I am just as happy watching her play as I am throwing and chasing myself. Zoe is one of my very favorite friends!
