Balloon Volleyball
Greetings to all.
Xavier got to do many things with Aunt Kathy. He even let her put him to bed one night. It was a Christmas miracle!
One of the games played was balloon volleyball. Xavier found a balloon in his toy box. We blew it up and it became a nightly ritual before going to bed to play the game.
I don't know if the nightly games helped tire Xavier out, or wind him up. Fortunately, Aunt Kathy offered to put Xavier to bed the first night.
With Xavier wound up, and knowing how difficult getting him down in such a state can be, I took her up on her offer. As she led Xavier to his room, I secretly laughed.
Kathy returned less than fifteen minutes later. Xavier was in bed and stayed there. In fact, he fell asleep very quickly. Try as I might, I could not convince Kathy to do this for us every night until Xavier turned four.
