Boone turned 14 weeks old today... and he has learned a valuable new skill. Daja sent him a present this week that made all of us very happy. Andy and I enjoy playing Frisbee quite a bit. Andy actually made it a condition of our marriage that I had to be a successful Frisbee tosser before we were married. (I'd like to think that, had I not learned the skill, he would have married me anyway...?)
We have continued to play Frisbee throughout the 9 years we've been married. And we were really hoping that Boone would eventually enjoy it as well. The present he received from Daja was a soft and tough frisbee-like toy. Andy and I have been tossing it back and forth with Boone nearly every day this past week... at least for a little bit, so that he can see the way the game works.
Today we took it outside and decided that we would involve Boone a little bit more... and within mere minutes, he had successfully caught his first frisbee mid-air! And then he did it at least three more times.
Boone has had a good week overall. During previous weeks his physical changes were the most prevalent. This week I noticed a marked behavioral change... our boy is calming down. He definitely understands "off" now, (although he occasionally chooses to pretend he has no idea what I am talking about,) and is getting so that he will come bring his toy to wherever I am sitting and lay down near me to play. He is biting less... and is even starting to get the jumping under control. Boone is growing into a wonderful boy!
