Playing Pool

Avery & Daddy "playing" pool

A hobby of Jon’s since middle school (if not longer) has been playing pool, it is something he and his friends have enjoyed together for many many years. Avery had his first exposure to the game (or the table and balls at least) when we were having dinner with friends. Rather then put him on the dirty floor to play, we put him on the dirty pool table to play and crawl around.

Crawling on the pool table

The room to roam and the rack made Avery happy but it was the cue ball that was his favorite (of course it’s a ball why wouldn’t he love it) But it wasn’t just the ball itself he loved, but it was the the game for putting the ball in the pocket and then looking into the pocket to see where the ball had gone. It was so cute to watch, we would give him the ball and he would crawl over to a pocket and put it in and then he would press his face into the pocket to see if he could see where it went.

Where did the ball go?

That was his first pool experience  I am not sure if he will want to play when he is bigger but we have a while before we need to worry about it.
