The Return of the Ball Pit
The other day we had to bring the ball pit out so Megan had something different to play with. It had rained for a few days and was supposed to rain on and off for a few more days. On this morning it was sunny out after we ate breakfast and I asked Megan if she wanted to play in the backyard (because we were still in P.J's) and she said "uh-huh" We walked outside in sun but about 5 minutes later it started to sprinkle. Knowing we had to change our clothes anyways, we still played outside. But when it started raining harder, I had to find a way to make an outside baby happy....ah, we haven't played with the ball pit in a long time!
This time Megan had more fun filling the ball pit with anything and everything that would fit. You can't see them all but inside is a soccer ball, shower looffas, or course her turtle, her potty seat and random dog toys.
She also discovered that she could bend down the sides and make the whole thing move. She even managed to climb in by going through the roof (very funny to watch) She had lots of fun with the ball pit this time around.
I think I ran upstairs to grab a pair of socks and when I came down Megan and the ball pit were missing. Megan also discovered that she could move the ball pit around the house. She was able to drag it through the front room, over a plastic bin, a dog, a bumbo seat, past a vacuum cleaner...
...and this is where it ended up. It was stuck but she didn't let that stop here from playing! Goof ball! The ball pit is now back in the basement stored away for the next set of rainy days. I'm scared to think of what she will do with it next. I never would have guessed that she would have had so much fun playing with it.

Old toys new again. Love to hear about the new ways of playing with an old toy. Megan is learning and discovering things all the time. What a great way to keep her imagination going.
