Two Red Balloons Go By
Greetings to everyone.
Last weekend Rebecca threw a surprise party for my 50th birthday and these balloons were part of the decorations. Xavier has been fascinated by them all week as they floated high near the ceiling. Today, he figured out how to get them down to his level: grab the strings (which was within arm's reach), roll several times to spool the stings around torso, then declare victory. (Of course, this was done in a fully supervised environment, though it saddens me I need to insert such a disclaimer)
Once Xavier declared victory, he became frustrated. He could not hold the balloon in his mouth or get a good taste of it, so he beat the bad balloon repeatedly.
