Balls and Bubbles

Tobias loves playing with balls. He will pick them up and play with them one way or another. The bigger the ball the harder it gets of course. Usually he will just pick up the ball and throw it on the floor, then walk after it and repeat the process. The other day he had a tennis ball in each hand and he would bang them together before throwing them both on the floor at the same time and then going after them while laughing like crazy....

Tobias also loves bubbles, or "baba's" as he calls them. We have a bubble blow thing which we use inside the house. Of course it is lots of fun to try to get a bubble and then see it disappear... Tobias also got a bubble machine as a gift. We do not use it in the house, just outside... Recently the weather has been really nice so we have been outside a lot.... and we have used the bubble machine, much to Tobias' delight.

What is even better than balls OR bubbles is balls AND bubbles!!!Posted by Picasa

Water is Fun

A couple of week back we went to visit my parents on their vacation in Renesse, a small town close to the beach. A friend of my dad's has a summer house there. My parents go there frequently and we visit occasionally.

When we visited this time the weather was perfect. My mom thought that Tobias would like playing in the water. Well, she was right. What started out as just walking around and stepping into the water tub gradually went to splashing the water, to throwing balls of all kinds and sizes in the water, to Tobias sitting in the water entirely!

Lots of fun for him, but also for his audience... :-) Posted by Picasa
