The Natural

Over the weekend, we were playing around out back --Ed loves my headbands for those lazy weekend mornings. He went around putting it on us, looping it through arms and legs, and trying to get it over our heads.


I have been dying to get Ed the pictured basketball hoop for a long time. I've been looking for a used one and recently gave up, deciding to buy this one. Dennis tells me the Natural is baseball, but I'm not picky.

No sooner did I have it out of the box then he was shooting hoops--right in the kitchen where I was assembling. We didn't tell him or show him anything--he just grabbed a ball and put it in the hoop.

Ed was downright spastic with excitement, running all over the house looking for his various balls to throw in. He especially thought it funny when the beach ball would get stuck in the hoop and he'd have to pull it through or put another ball through.

Not sure how long the excitement will last, but it must find a permanent home outside the living room.

Eddie may be b-ball crazy, but you're a close runner-up, taking a zillion pictures!

I'm sure you know, there another 20 or 30 pictures that didn't make the cut. Thus the blessing and curse of an SLR--ability to take lots of pictures in a short time. I do delete quite a few.

I was curious whether or not Eddie would like the basketball hoop and it certainly seems like he does. The first of many basketball hoops you and Dennis will assemble, with the rest probably going outside.
