Look Under There

Last night we could not find one of Avery’s favorite things, his volleyball. We looked in every room under things, behind things, places there was no chance of it being, but we couldn’t find it. It wasn’t a big deal to Avery he had other things (balls) to play with but it bothered me only because I knew it was there, somewhere. I continued to search the same places I’d already searched, places I had seen it before. Undisturbed by my quest to find the ball Avery played on. Playing with a different smaller ball, Avery laid down on the floor and rolled his smaller ball under the ottoman we have in the living room, pressing his face closer to the floor and he watched the ball roll thru the small 2ish inch tall space and out the other side, it was so cute to watch him look under and watch the ball. 

Watching the ball roll under and out

He did this a few times before the ball got stuck, then he just looked at me with a smile. I went over to move the ottoman and get the ball back for him and discovered along side the smaller ball, the volleyball, it must have got stuck under there when I was moving the ottoman around. Clever kid, he knew where the volleyball was, he just couldn’t get it.
