A Balloon

Naturally I didn't think quick enough to take a picture.  Mom needed a new supply of snacks.  She goes through her stash in a couple of days.  So the littles and I went to the store and bought new snacks and delivered them.
We found Mom in the general living area.  There were several other residents there.  Well right away the little man discovered one of those super balloons hiding behind a chair.  And then the fun began.  He was bouncing it off furniture, the ceiling and the residents.  The residents loved it and got right in on the bouncing it around.  One of the women was in a wheelchair and I noticed how softly Connor would send the ball to her on occasion.  Like he knew she couldn't handle rough play.  There was quite a bit of laughter.
And then naturally he became a balloon hog and it was time for the balloon to be put up before it got popped.  But it sure looked like all the kids, young and old, really enjoyed that fifteen minutes of playing with that balloon.
Mom was having a good day.  Still settling in.  She told me about her friend and it was the man I thought it would be.
Mel sent me this picture of Mom enjoying one of the activities they did.
