The Wonders of Balloons!

Yesterday, my tiny trio each received a shiny, pretty, mylar balloon for Valentine's Day.

Who would have ever guessed that they would be so enraptured by something so simple.

They had to have them at dinner-time. Each baby sat in their little feeding chair with their respective balloon weighted and clipped to their trays.

In between bites of pizza, they discovered how balloons float and can be made to dance in the air when the ribbon attached to them is pulled.

After dinner, the babies found out how balloons can be clipped to the side of your britches so that it can follow you around while you play!

Kian discovered that it is even more fun to have two balloons and that if you bop your brother over the head from behind, the surprise will be enough to enable you to pilfer his right out from underneath him.

Balloons are pesky creatures, too. They can wrap their ribbons 'round your legs if you are not careful and mindful of them.

My babies played with their balloons for hours last night. They insisted on taking them to bed with them, too.

Everyone had to have their balloon clipped to their bed in some manner so that they knew it would be safe while they slept.

In the morning, I had a new dilemma. I had to figure out how to get all three of the babies, a blanket and three balloons downstairs all at the same time.

We somehow managed, but I am not sure how! They spent the entire day fighting over balloons, getting them tangled up, untangling them, then fighting over them some more.

The babies were so engrossed with their balloons, that Kaiden forgot to scale the piano today.

Neither of the boys even thought about rearranging the furniture, or climbing on top of any of the tables in the living room.

Who would ever have imagined that the solution to my adventurous babies might be as simple as a mylar balloon?
