My son is 16 months old. He is obsessed with balls: basketballs, baseballs, tennis balls, candles that look like balls. My husband and I can't walk past a ball without Quincy's mouth forming that word. He continues to repeat it until he has said ball in his grasp. The other day, I had no less then 10 balls strewn about on the floor because everytime he saw one he had to retrieve it. If we ever need to distract him we just say the word "ball" and he is off to fetch it. Sorta like the dogs on the movie Up! They got sidetracked by squirrels, and my son is the same way with balls. Yes, it does look much the same too!
He loves to throw food. I am having the hardest time getting him to quit. I have been sweeping the floor after every meal, but I finally gave up and decided to just leave the food and sweep it up all at the end of the day yesterday. Well, there was enough food on the floor for another, albeit gross, entire meal! With my daughter, we knew she was just bored or finished eating if she began to throw food, but my son will throw one piece of food and eat the next. He is just quite unpredictable. He has embarrassed me several times already! This bad habit has got to stop.
He is the cutest little boy I have ever laid eyes on and he knows it. Trouble!!
