Paddle ball

I try to pick up cheap toys that might interest Matthew when I see them, so Rachel has something to turn to on a "rainy day." Well, today was literally cold and rainy, so Matthew was cooped up and driving his mommy nuts, so Rachel broke out the paddle-ball set that I'd brought home on one of those occasions.

Matthew liked the ball, but he was extremely distressed that it was attached to the paddle. He wanted it off, so he could throw it and hit it with the paddle like some weird golf club. Rachel tore it off for him and he's played with it off and on all day. (Some of the "off" has been due to one of his games being hit-the-ball-under-the-oven-and-make-Mom-or-Dad-fish-it-out. We both got tired of that pretty quickly, so Daddy has confiscated the ball twice now.)
