What Is So Exciting About These??


By far, Xavier's favorite activity lately is playing with these sports bottles. They can literally occupy him for hours. It's fabulous and ridiculous at the same time. He prefers them over any toy he has and most of the time goes straight for them the second he comes in the door from wherever we've been. They are housed in the 1 cabinet that we let him play in.



Two important things to note in the picture above. I REALLY should reorganize that cabinet, and despite all the junk in there, Xavier doesn't touch anything but the sports bottles. Strange, huh! He just knocks them over so they roll out of the cabinet.



Then he proceeds to roll the bottles across the kitchen floor for an endless amount of time. He doesn't like is so much when they roll under the dining room hutch because he hasn't figured out how to read under there and get them. So, he just sits there and stares at the bottles and then up at me as if to say "Um, HELLO -- are you gonna get those for me Mommy?!"




And in true Xavier fashion (well, I guess all 1 year old's fashion) he just leaves them in the middle of the floor when he's finished playing and goes on to something else. And so I think I end up picking up the bottles and putting them back in the cabinet at least a good 10 times a day.


He likes to get them out of the cabinet so much that I'd hate to deprive him of that joy but just letting the bottles stay out on the floor all the time. Ya know, because he's soooooo deprived!
