On Sunday, while we were hanging out with my mom ("Grams" to Jonathan), Jonathan became infatuated with this pumpkin ball mom had laying around the house. For reasons known only to a two-year-old, he thought it was the best toy ever, even more so than the new tunnel/tent/playhouse I got him last week at Costco that had its first real unveiling at my parents' house. His attachment to the ball is obvious in the pictures I've posted below.
This is the one good picture I was able to get in the new toy as, by design, Jonathan wouldn't really hold still for photographs:
And here is my little man sitting on the front steps, looking all too proud of himself:
The ball was with him as he explored the shrubbery...
...and as he petted Mom's metal chihuahua lawn sculpture.
Maybe the ball was like a magic wand because he really seemed to pose while holding it.
Shortly after these pictures were taken, my dad and Jonathan started playing with rocks, some spare drainage piping and dirt. Let's just say that his lovely white shirt was not so white anymore. I cringed a bit but they were having such a good time that I had to let it go. But, really, could someone explain to me why children get dirtier the more expensive their clothing?

I think kids have a way of knowing when to get an expensive outfit more dirty than just regular play clothes. Don't know why.
That tunnel/tent is very cool! I would love one like that for the kids but we would never be able to move in our house!
Isn't that just the total truth about their clothing. It never fail when Aubree puts on a new outfit or dress, it gets dirty and I can't get it OUT!
That is so funny about the pumpkin ball and him posing with it, is so cute.
I swear, you guys have the cutest, happiest baby I have ever seen. Nevertheless, I will resist! I will fight the charm of the cute baby!
Man, am I ever envious. I wish I could leave MY kids with MY parents for a week! We've left them once overnight. You lucky dog.
And more expensive clothes DO get dirtier somehow. Perhaps the kids know to get them messier...?
Yep...never fails...the good clothes get destroyed and the walmart specials last forever!
That is so true- it is always the extra cute or more expensive stuff that they get dirty- it is a conspiracy!
I love that he was loving that orange ball so much- very cute!
