the many uses of a ball popper.

a few weeks ago, our fabulous small group had a little welcome home party for choi boy. we have been so blessed by their prayers and encouragement throughout our journey and it was so special to be able to introduce our son to the people that prayed fervently for him every week as we waited for him to come home.

one of the awesome gifts choi boy got at the party was his very own ball popper.

choi boy's buddy/girlfriend/future wife has one and she taught him how to use it.

so as soon as the ball popper was out of the box, cb knew exactly how to get those colorful balls a-poppin'.

but, choi boy soon discovered a new use for his ball popper. and you'll be able to tell right away that these pictures were taken pre-traumatic-haircut when you see what choi boy used his ball popper for...

that's right, not only can the toy be used to pop around 5 colorful plastic balls; it can also be used as a wind machine for you to throw back your head and get those lovely locks tossed around.

first, you press the button and get your head real close to the top hole...

then you pull back a bit...

and let that wind work it's magic!

i don't know what you think, but to me, these pictures seem to be proof that choi boy might have some (super)modeling in his future. no?

that is, after his hair grows back.

  8. This. Is. Hysterical. I LOVE it. Like Noah, Spencer used to put his face over the ball popper for the "wind blown" effect... but this is way funnier!

    (I recently snagged photos of Spencer "doing" his hair with the hair dryer... just another reason our boys need to meet... SOON.)

  18. Your little one is SOOO cute. He looks so happy and has such a great smile. It seems like just yesterday that you finally brought him home, and now you have to think about going back to work again?

    Enjoy this time with your adorable little one.
