Matthew's grandmother suggested that we tie a whiffle ball to a string and hang it from our back deck, so Matthew could whack at it with a ball from below. Rachel set it up today; Matthew had a blast. He's quite good at connecting with the ball, even in motion. He clearly enjoyed smacking that ball solidly into the deck above. Sometimes he'd smack it into the air beyond and the string would pull it back, bonking him on the head. "Ow," he'd say. "Nose." (Or ear, or wherever it hit him.) Then he'd smack it again.
Matthew is still hopping all over on his horse chew toy. Now that he's got the hang of it, it's about the only indoor activity that compares to being outside. (Outside is still the clear winner, though.)
