Week without school

The last week of August, Ben's school was closed, so he spent lots of time in playgrounds with one parent or the other. One day we all three together went on an outing to Ikea and a nearby toy store. Ben liked the meatballs and had lots of fun in the children's area, trying out all the little beds. He was particularly fond of one with a canopy. At the toy store, Ben got a baseball mitt, ball, and bat. His friend Liam has a mitt, and Ben thought it was great. He has been practicing catching with it and loves throwing the ball with his daddoo. He tends to throw the ball with his mitted hand, but he's still pretty good at throwing. Catching he's still working on.
