Hi Brooke, I wasn't sure what was coming at the end, When I read it was the laugh was the big problem, I had a good laugh at that. The poem rhymed great in aabb.
Sawyer is having a great time, the kids love to immerse themselves into all the balls.
Well done, Mary

Ha! I know that feeling when you know you are not supposed to laugh but you can't help it, not matter how hard you try, it's gonna come out. And it is contagious because seeing Sawyer's picture tickles me. 8-)

This was great. I was held in suspense for what 'it' might be. Good rhythm and the rhyming was perfect. Great job. Gretchen

HAHAHAHAHA! I'll just bet that anyone within Sawyer's vicinity (or any child in such a state) wouldn't be able to halt their laughter either. What a delight, my friend!

What a delightful photo(s) of your little boy playing in the ball pit at your Gym, it amazes me how you can derive so much inspiration.from one small boy, although I see my granddaughter every day, and my affection for her is unparalleled, I don't see inspiration there every day. Well done Brooke, another triumph. Nice rhyming couplets, blessings, Roy.

How delightful is the laughter of a child that cannot be suppressed, and how sweet this picture of Sawyer bursting giggles instead of balloons. Thank you!

If the picture is any indication, I can relate. I know how I'd feel. Sort of like going down for the third time. I've watched kids in that ball machine myself. I don't those things. I enjoyed the story though.

Cute! I have always wondered what it would be like to jump in one of those ball pits. We missed out didn't we. It looks like Sawyer was really having fun and that is just wonderful. Love your poem. It matches the pictures. LOL Nancy

Thank you so much, Nancy - Sawyer's mom and uncle grew up LOVING ball pits, and now he does too :-) Yeah, they invented lots and lots of stuff after we were little, my friend. :-) Brooke
Comment from Drew Delaney
This is very cute, Brooke. The picture gives me smiles. He looks so happy and having a great time. He's such a lark. And cute as a button. It is nice to be able to leave him a legacy of poetry his grandmother is devoting to him. What a star, you are!!
