The last time Cole and I went to the grocery store, the sweet lady at the door handed us a blue balloon. The woman was very wise. Cole was entertained by the balloon almost the entire time we were in the store. He would look up at it while he tugged on the string, smile and giggle and look at me as if to show me that he had discovered something new. He was so cute. He caught the eye of every man, woman and child in the store.
When we got home I let him play with the balloon while I put away the groceries. It kept him busy the entire time. I put the balloon up until Daddy got home and then let Cole show him all his tricks. By this time he was a skilled balloon player. He'd tug at the string almost as if to a beat of a song. As he tugged on the string and the balloon hit his head, he'd smile and giggle while showing off to his Daddy. 
Who knew that a balloon could be so much fun. I think we'll have to get one next time we're at the grocery store.

aww how sweet... :)
Impressive. He plays with his balloon like a big boy. Tyler always tries to eat his, so I had to start telling the balloon lady, "No thank you - he will eat it." Of course Tyler is so hurt that he can't have something that was offered and I become the mean mommy. Now I rush into the store quickly to avoid the balloon lady. I hope this never happens to you! It's neat that Cole enjoys it so much.
