Catch!

This is the most commonly heard word around our house these days - at least out of Joseph. I recommend safety goggles of some sort, possibly even a helmet if you visit our house. Your back is turned toward the stove, or sink, or computer, or washing machine and you hear from behind, "CATCH!" My first instinct anymore is to duck, though he is pretty good about waiting until you give him the go ahead. We are trying to teach him that soft balls are the only thing he needs to be throwing in the house. But, here are a few things that have been in hand when the phrase was thrown (ha, ha): a cup, his sanwich, a bat, an old cell phone, a small book, a fork, his plate (after he is done with his supper). Like I said, you might want to bring some goggles.
