Every now and again, someone says something that just catches your attention. And, well, if you're me and have the sense of humor of a teenager - that something might just spark a mini photo shoot of a toddler [who just canNOT hold still] and a blog post! (Lucky you!)
So, what did I hear?
Mind you, it just may have been slightly different from what was actually said...
"Oh, how cute! He has his balls on the dolly!"
Though, the speaker swears she said "Oh, how cute, he has A ball on the dolly!"
There were about 15 pictures taken on my cell phone of Doodles pushing his big yellow ball (which certainly weighs no more than a couple of ounces) on the red dolly (which probably weighs between 10 and 15 pounds.
You'll notice that these are ALL blurry because this child is constantly in perpetual motion. The pictures above are the least blurry and you can actually, almost, tell that there is a boy and a ball with his dolly.
The pushing around of the ball and dolly lasted a good long while - in toddler time, that is at least 20 minutes, maybe more! Here is a quick video of the fun that ensues when driving the dolly under a tunnel!
Then he decided that climbing the dolly might be kinda fun. At this point, a much elderly lady (think over 80 years old) says,
"You know, that is just not stable. I tried that the other day in my kitchen with my dolly because I didn't want to get out the ladder to reach something on the top shelf and I almost fell right over!"
What?! Who uses a dolly as a ladder?
What?! Who uses a dolly as a ladder?
"Well, shoot! That ball has been having all the fun - maybe it is my turn now!"
"Mark! Push. me!"
If you are ever wondering what to do with a toddler, I highly suggest a ball and dolly (and possibly someone to push the dolly, too!)
