Elliott shows us affection. Hugs, kisses, smiles.
But we are nothing - nothing - compared to his beloved balls.
No, no, not those.
The basketball, the bouncy ball, the soccer ball, the tennis ball, anything round he sees elicits an automatic proclamation of "Ball!"
It's enough to drive you batty. I have considered taking them all out of the house and putting out a few more of his other toys to promote diversity. Affirmative action for cars, stuffed animals, anything but the favored majority.
But we live with this obsession. Now that it is summer, the ball obsession has led to an obsession with being in the backyard. He tries with every ounce of strength and determination to shoot basketball. Of course, the ball just rolls off his hands just above his head. We will post video of that soon.
