It's Like Our Very Own Chuck E Cheese

Remember when I mentioned that I was going to do a ball pit in our basement? Well, guess what Xavier woke up from his nap the other day to find?? I clearly underestimated the size of the pool and will need to get more balls, but my neighbor gave us this first set because they had so many. X didn't seem to notice that the ball-to-space ratio wasn't exactly up to Chuck E Cheese standards. He was super excited to get in and try it out.

His favorite part was trying to see how many balls he could hold at one time. I think he was up to 4 but I only managed to get pictures of him holding 3.

I guess he decided some eye protection might be needed and grabbed Walter's sunglasses.

And, apparently the ball pit is a great spot to read a book??!!

I am so thankful for our finished basement. This monstrosity of primary colors never would have worked in our old house. It is great that we can have a few "larger" toys and I can still maintain some sense of decor in the main living areas. Don't get me wrong, there are toys in pretty much every room of the house, but swimming pools filled with plastic balls are banned to the basement. Hopefully this will provide lots of entertainment this winter when we won't be getting outside much!
