It’s no secret, the kiddo loves balls. Footballs. Soccer balls. Baseballs. Basketballs. Golf balls. You name a ball, he probably likes it.

LMAO, the things you’ll say about a boy and his balls!

LOL! Awesome list. It’s amazing the things we find ourself saying as moms!
@Land of Lovings, I know, by husband gets a kick out of these sayings. But then again, he’s still a big kid too.
Oh, man. I think everyone of these has been said in our house except the Grandpa one (Ben’s grandfathers are not the sort to play with balls).

It’s nice to “meet” you! I have two little boys who love balls, too!
@Julie From Inmates, Nice to meet you too. Thanks for popping over.

@The Diaper Diaries, Just you wait, boys are so much fun!
I love the balls phase! It just makes for so many great unintentional puns. Ranks right up there with the fire truck phase when they still say “f” for “tr”

@Charlotte, LOL, we’ve been through that phase too!
This was HILARIOUS!!! My youngest, Caleb, is a ball man too. We have said many of these, but I LOVE the one about not playing with other people’s balls. CUTE!
