Jake, aka BamBam

Jake loves my nephew's big plastic softball set. He pounces on the big white softballs, which pop up and around on our wooden floors and go in all directions with quite a clatter. It's one of the few games that Jake doesn't feel that he needs humans in order to play. He's been playing with the softballs for the last couple of months. This week he discovered the bat! It's a good thing I had already put away all of our breakable things a long time ago. He winds through the chairs at the dining room table, through the open coffee table, and through your legs with that big old bat. He goes running at full steam in big circles around the living room with it in his mouth, smashing and banging as he goes. What great fun!
