Duck and Cover!

I took Ely to Gap today (his favorite place.. yeah right) to get some new PJ's.  He is like every male and HATES to shop.  They had these large, glittery, and quite heavy balls for sale so I gave him one to play with while we shopped.  I know I should learn my lesson, (how many times has this happened?) but of course I ended up having to buy it for him.  When we got home this thing proved to be a deadly weapon!! 

You know those moments in parenting when you can't make up your mind fast enough to say "no" and then it is just too late?  Yep, had one of those.  Ely knows not to throw his toys, and he knows not to throw things at me.. but throwing balls I have always allowed because the balls he has are harmless, not hard, and well.... you are supposed to throw balls!  However, this ball is like 5 pounds of rubber and he decided to throw it around and "hit" his toys.  Ugh!  He started dying laughing when it slammed into his kitchen, hit poor Elmo, and his farmhouse.  He was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.  I mean this is such a "boy" thing to do!!
