Catch with Daddy

It has been so sweet to watch Dan connect and relate to Dan. This game of catch is a new favorite activity for Dan and Cal. They lay down in our entryway and throw a ball up towards the ceiling. Calvin carries a ball over to the rug, lays down, and starts throwing it up. When Dan is home, he beckons Dan to join him....usually with a "da!" and a finger point towards the rug.
Sometimes Calvin lays face-up on Dan's chest to play this game. Though he has a difficult time catching the ball, he has a pretty good throwing motion.

Periodically while playing this game Calvin will get up and walk away. Seconds later he scampers back to the rug with a different type of ball in his hands. Some of the favorites are this blue rubber ball, a football, and whiffle ball. The football makes me nervous because of its weight, but Dan has been successful and saving Calvin's nose thus far.
